Developing & piloting biodiversity footprinting ? capital accounting via a 'beehive' of sectoral hubs, for sustainability transition to a circular EU bioeconomy

生物多样性是可持续循环生物经济的真正驱动力。虽然CBE需要先进的技术和创新才能成功，但生物多样性决定了生物系统适应和进化的能力。因此，生物多样性的考虑需要反映在经济做法和估值中。CircHave将通过以下方式衡量自然价值并将其纳入公共和商业决策：1)提高数据的可用性、可获得性和协调性；2)开发生物多样性足迹(BF)的标准化方法，并将其与自然资本核算(NCA)相结合；3)将BF和NCA的使用纳入公共和私人决策的主流，包括改进信息披露、风险管理和投资实践；4)测试和改进已开发的方法和模型；以及5)建立更广泛的社区“蜂巢”，以便同行支持和利用成果。鉴于BF(生命周期分析)和NCA(簿记)的多重重叠，但也存在阻碍操作和理解的分歧，因此高度重视开发科学、稳健和标准化的方法。同样强调实践测试，以了解当前的做法和机会，进一步将生物多样性和自然资本纳入披露、生态标签和投资决策的主流。将理论转化为实践是通过一个案例研究网络来检验的，该网络将在现实生活中应用不同的以生物多样性为中心的方法。这是在部门案例研究中心(工业、零售商、投资者、城市)进行的，用于同行学习和能力建设。在CircHave的方法中，CBE和生物多样性相互促进，作为可持续商业实践的资源和灵感的基础。将自然价值纳入公共和商业决策，将有利于生态系统及其服务的保护和可持续企业的盈利。

Biodiversity is the true driving force of a sustainable, circular bioeconomy (CBE). While the CBE needs advanced technology and innovation to succeed, biodiversity determines the capacity of biological systems to adapt and evolve. For this reason, biodiversity considerations need to be reflected in economic practices and valuation. CircHive will measure and integrate the value of nature into public and business decision making by: 1) improving data availability, accessibility, and harmonisation; 2) developing a standardised method for biodiversity footprinting (BF) and integrating it with natural capital accounting (NCA); 3) mainstreaming the use of BF and NCA in public and private decision making, incl. improving disclosure, risk management, and investment practice; 4) testing and improving the developed methods and models; and 5) building a wider community ‘BEEHive’ for peer support and exploitation of results. A strong emphasis is put developing scientifically robust and standardised methods that bridge BF (life cycle analyses) and NCA (bookkeeping), given their multiple overlaps but also divergences that hinder operationalisation and uptake. An equally strong emphasis is placed on practice-testing to understand current practices and opportunities for further mainstreaming of biodiversity and natural capital into disclosure, ecolabelling, and investment decisions. Transitioning theory to practice is put to the test via a case study network who will apply different biodiversity-centric approaches in real life. This is carried out in sectoral case study hubs (industry, retailers, investors, cities) for peer learning and capacity building. In CircHive’s approach, CBE and biodiversity reinforce each other as a basis for resources and inspiration for sustainable business practices. The integration of the value of nature into public and business decisions, will benefit both the protection of ecosystems and their services and the profitability of sustainable businesses.
