Making Business Work For Nature

让企业为自然效劳

From the energy industry to industrial agriculture, the private sector has long reaped large financial rewards from environmental destruction. But the costs of that destruction are growing, and businesses' responsibility - and motivation - to reverse it becoming more apparent.

从能源工业到农业产业化，私营部门长时期从环境破坏中获得大量经济回报。但破坏环境的代价正在不断增长，所以企业扭转这一趋势的责任——还有动机——也越来越明显。

The latest edition of the United Nations' Global Biopersity Outlook, published by the Convention on Biological Diversity, makes for bleak reading. As the report notes, biopersity is essential to address climate change, ensure long-term food security, and prevent future pandemics. And yet the world is missing every target that has been established to protect it. If this is to change, business must step up.

由联合国生物多样性公约秘书处出版的最新版《全球生物多样性展望》做出了不乐观的解读。根据报告的说明，生物多样性对于解决气候改变，确保长期食品安全，阻止未来流行病都是至关重要的。然而确定保护生物多样性的每一个目标，全世界没有完成任何一个。如果这些要改变，企业必须行动起来。

From the energy industry to industrial agriculture, some of the private sector's financial success has come at the expense of the environment. And as environmental destruction progresses, natural disasters are becoming increasingly common - material and existential risks to companies' employees, supply chains, and profits.

从能源行业到农业产业化，一些私有部门的经济成功是以环境为代价的。随着环境破坏的进行，自然灾害正变得越来越普遍——对企业员工，供应链与利润带来了客观存在的风险。
