Biodiversity Agreements refers to the formal commitments a company enters into, individually or through sector- or landscape-level coalitions, to protect, restore or enhance ecosystems that it impacts or depends on. These agreements may be voluntary (e.g., pledges under the Business for Nature coalition), contractual (e.g., habitat conservation plans with regulators), or regulatory (e.g., offset or 'no-net-loss' requirements in environmental permits). The topic covers:

• Site-specific habitat conservation or restoration plans

• Landscape-scale or jurisdictional approaches (e.g., forest-concession agreements, biodiversity offsets)

• Multi-stakeholder initiatives aligned with the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF)

• Targets, timelines, financing mechanisms and monitoring/reporting provisions embedded in the agreements
