About the project

Biodiversity is a key component of agricultural finance, but it is threatened globally and lacks representation in credit decisions in general, which results in its further decline. To counteract this, emphasise the importance of biodiversity and foster its inclusion in investment decisions, the MEbA Biodiversity Platform was formed. Its goal is to offer financial service providers proven methodologies for agricultural credit assessment using state-of-the-art digital tools, while raising awareness of biodiversity and climate risk management in agricultural lending.
