Transitioning away from fossil fuels to renewable energy is fundamental to solving the biodiversity crisis, as climate change is a main driver of biodiversity loss. The space required for the renewable energy transition is significant, and, with a nature in crisis, it is vital that we make sure our energy projects benefit nature. In 2024, we continued taking action to deliver on our ambition to achieve a net-positive biodiversity impact from all new renewable energy projects from 2030.

Building on the momentum of the launch of our framework, we have worked with the World Economic Forum (WEF) to launch the Responsible Renewables Infrastructure initiative (RRI). This initiative aims to bring together the renewable energy industry to build a collective approach for assessing the industry’s impacts on biodiversity and local communities.
