The SDG's wedding cake

Azotes illustration for Stockholm Resilience Center where the SDG goals show how economies and societies should be seen as embedded parts of the biosphere. This vision departs from today's sectoral view where social, economic and ecological development are seen as separate parts.

The Biodiversity Plan

Preserving the planet’s biodiversity is essential for all life on Earth. That’s why the UN’s complex Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework has been translated into visual and easy-to-understand language. The result is The Biodiversity Plan, a powerful action plan to halt biodiversity loss and preserve life on Earth.

From the creators of the SDGs, our friends at TND. Read more and download the illustrations from www.biodiversityplan.org.

Biodiversity: A guide for Swedish companies

Did you know that your business is more dependent on nature than you might think? Behind every product, every service and every business decision, nature's systems work silently – with raw materials, water, energy, pollination and much more. That's why we've developed a guide for those of you who want to understand the connection between biodiversity and business benefit – and who want to do something about it.

The book is a collaboration with researchers from the Gothenburg Global Biodiversity Centre, the University of Gothenburg and Vildriket, and it contains both concrete tools and inspiring examples from Swedish companies that are already on their way.
