Balancing biodiversity with society

The rapid loss of biodiversity is considered by many to be as serious a threat as climate change. And like the climate issue, biodiversity is often in conflict with our modern society. Fishing, environmental degradation and invasive species also put great pressure on marine biodiversity.

How the forest is to be harvested in a responsible way, with regard to both biodiversity, carbon dioxide uptake and bioenergy is a key issue. IVL is participating in this issue with independent research. We also analyze how different businesses risk affecting biological diversity from a life cycle perspective.
