Biodiversity Coalition: Phase 3

Project duration: March – June 2023

Phase 3 of the Biodiversity Coalition builds on domestic momentum in Germany and the achievements of the first two phases, including the Berlin Declaration and Frankfurt Declaration.

  • The first phase saw the formation of a cross-sectoral coalition of over 40 prominent leaders from business, finance, media, arts, and conservation, urging Germany’s incoming government to take decisive action against biodiversity loss.
  • The second phase focused on strengthening collaboration with Germany’s leading biodiversity research institutes, emphasizing the role of robust biodiversity data in shaping better policies, nature-aligned finance, and nature-positive business strategies. SUN played a critical role in supporting these efforts.
  • The third phase aimed to operationalize commitments and expand access to high-quality biodiversity data.

Key milestones include the publication of a white paper, "Tackling the Global Biodiversity Crisis," officially launched in June 2023, and the initiation of a nature data facility designed to unlock tools for protecting Earth’s biodiversity.
