On 14-19 June 2026 in Davos, Switzerland. Biodiversity is being lost at a fast rate, with global production, consumption and trade patterns as important drivers of biodiversity loss. The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework has recognized this, with Target 15 calling for disclosure by companies of their biodiversity impacts and Target 16 ensuring that people can make sustainable consumption choices. For this it is imperative to have tools in place that allow quantifying biodiversity impacts along value chains in a consistent way. In this session, we aim to have presentations about novel and promising approaches for how to assess biodiversity impacts along entire value chains on a global level. We encourage submissions across the terrestrial, freshwater and marine realms and we aim to have a breadth of possible biodiversity metrics and indicators included, such as indicators related to changes in species richness, functional diversity or ecosystem services. We also call on contributions from a different range of stakeholders, from businesses to policy makers and the scientific community.
On 4–5 June 2026, leading researchers, policymakers and practitioners will gather in Brussels, Belgium, for a 1.5-day hybrid event showcasing the results of the Horizon Europe Transformative Change for Biodiversity cluster.
The event will present key insights, innovations and lessons learned from EU-funded projects working to drive systemic change for biodiversity. Participants will explore how research and practice can accelerate transformative pathways and inform the road ahead.
The event is jointly organized by the cluster projects, with BAMBOO playing a leading role in bringing partners together alongside BioTraces, TranPath, BioAgora, PLANET4B, BIONEXT, CircHive, TCBE and DAISY.
Bringing together diverse expertise and perspectives, the Brussels meeting will highlight the collective impact of the cluster and strengthen collaboration for the next phase of biodiversity action across Europe and beyond.
On 18–19 September 2025, the BAMBOO consortium came together in Vienna for its annual in-person meeting. Representatives from all European partner organizations joined to share progress, align on methods, and ensure compatibility across our joint developments.
On June 4–5, 2025, over 150 participants gathered in Brussels and online for a two-day event.
In June, we hosted an online workshop to gather input for the scenarios we will run later in the project.
The kick-off meeting of the BAMBOO project took place on 17/18 October 2022 in Leiden (The Netherlands).
One year into the project, the BAMBOO consortium met again in person in the Netherlands, this time in The Hague on 27 and 28 September 2023.
Event hosted by BAMBOO members Francesca Verones, Laura Scherer, Stephan Pfister, and Martin Bruckner.
