Integrated Biodiversity Assessment Tool’s biodiversity map

Detalles

The TNFD and the Integrated Biodiversity Assessment Tool (IBAT) have collaborated to create an integrated and publicly accessible version of the Integrated Biodiversity Assessment Tool biodiversity map. In response to market feedback on the value of analytical tools to save time and costs in implementing the LEAP approach, the TNFD is collaborating with partners to provide easy access to useful tools for "Localization" phase analysis. These tools are drawn from the TNFD Tool Catalog, which provides a more extensive list of available and applicable tools to support analysis across all phases of LEAP.

IBAT can help organizations identify sensitive locations in the L4 component of the "Localization" phase of the LEAP approach. The datasets within IBAT are recommended by the TNFD, as they offer a scientifically sound starting point for assessing the sensitivity of locations based on importance to biodiversity. Identifying sensitive locations is also important to Strategy D of TNFD's recommended disclosures.

IBAT's biodiversity map offers a quick visual analysis of critical biodiversity areas globally. Users can explore the interactive map by adding several layers to identify Key Biodiversity Areas, protected areas, and important areas for threatened species.
