Let’s close the gap on biodiversity
With nature-positive solutions, we can drive economic growth while improving biodiversity. Let’s co-create a future that’s biodiverse and protective of our ecosystems.
Integrating nature-positive solutions to protect our ecosystems
Biodiversity is our life source and loss of it has serious consequences. Currently, one million plant and animal species are threatened with extinction.
By actively integrating nature-positive solutions, we can drive economic growth while improving biodiversity.
To close the gap, we must leave nature in a better state than before as we build tomorrow’s societies. We must design green spaces and create more room for nature in our cities to reduce health and environmental problems.

How we close the biodiversity gap
Bringing biodiversity to Stockholm
The way we build cities often creates homogenous conditions that are hostile to plant and animal life. Norra Djurgårdsstaden in Stockholm demonstrates that thriving urban ecosystems depend on retaining existing topography and allowing variations in soils, light and water levels.
