Goal A2: Step 3

Sector Context

The Biodiversity Context of your Sector

This step focuses on the sector level picture. What are the perceived biodiversity impacts of your sector? How are other organisations tackling these challenges and what are the compliance or regulatory responsibilities?

It’s important to have full visibility on sector-level impacts and to know what other actors within your sector are doing to support biodiversity (and if it’s working!)
