Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Citizens Assembly Report on Biodiversity Loss: Discussion (Resumed)

Dr. Emer N? Dh?ill:

I attended the European Business and Nature Summit in Milan two weeks ago. Obviously, it was all around the corporate sustainability reporting directive, CSRD. However, businesses really want to contribute; it has to. Businesses need to assess their impacts and dependencies. That is a hugely important access to finance as well. They are benefiting form our national resources and not putting back into them. It is something they definitely want to do and have to do.
