This conceptual article asks when nature-related reporting becomes decision-useful across biological asset accounting, biodiversity disclosure, and ESG accountability. Synthesizing 155 published and institutional sources, it identifies four…

Zwerts J.A.

This paper argues for moving beyond unit-level certification toward landscape-scale operational agendas for biodiversity-positive tropical production. It addresses governance, metrics, and incentives needed at the landscape level rather tha…

Using a 2000–2022 global panel, the study shows renewable energy reduces extinction risk via GHG emission cuts (mediation analysis). Effects are nonlinear, weakening at higher levels, and stronger in Europe than Africa. It empirically links…
