The impacts of climate change are increasingly evident globally; temperature rise, water shortening, and biodiversity loss on a large scale. Nature-based solutions have been indicated by various global institutions (EU, UN, etc.) as one of the solutions for climate change.
The solutions for climate change with nature-based solutions lie mainly in; improving sustainable land use systems like forestry and agriculture and renewable bio-based products with very low environmental impacts and the capability of storing carbon over a long time.
BioGrowth Development is active in those markets for sustainable land use systems like forestry and agriculture, and connected value chains like; bio-based and the carbon market. Within these markets, we have several active customers in various segments such as; governments, companies, and NGOs.
