Today, the Align project is publishing recommendations bringing more clarity on ‘what’ elements of biodiversity to measure and ‘how’ to assess impacts and dependencies on biodiversity in a business context. This document provides the technical basis to support many evolving policies and standards and foster harmonization of natural capital accounting within Europe and beyond.
