Our report The Biosphere Economy (TBE) was heralded as the new agenda business CEOs, at the closing plenary of the First Global Business of Biodiversity Symposium, held in London in July 2010.

The symposium served as a launching platform for the awaited TEEB for business report (acronym for the UN-sponsored study ‘The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity’). The event gathered CEOs of large companies like Rio Tinto, with institutional investors and NGOs, and top UK Government  officials, like Rt Hon Caroline Spelman MP Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
