🌍 The resilience of your business depends on the resilience of nature Nature is the foundation of the global economy. Our prosperity, resilience and long-term financial stability depend on the health of ecosystems and the services they provide. As nature’s resilience declines, so too does the resilience of businesses, supply chains and economies that depend on it. Recognising both the dependencies and impacts on nature is essential for managing material risks and securing future value creation. Join the hundreds of organisations across different geographies and sectors that have already become TNFD Adopters, signalling to investors, shareholders, customers and other stakeholders that they are integrating nature into strategic decision-making to inform better governance, strategy, risk management and capital allocation. If your organisation is considering becoming a TNFD Adopter by COP30 and would like to know more, please contact us using the below form, and a member of the Market Engagement team will be in touch. 🔗 Adopter contact form - https://lnkd.in/gu8iBaZx 🔗 Register as a TNFD Adopter - https://lnkd.in/eWXFXC9d 📆 Deadline to register to be announced at COP30: 31 October 2025. #SustainableFinance #Biodiversity #Nature #TNFDAdopters

“Nature Impact Target Setting for Banks” discussion paper proposes an approach for banks to set impact targets for nature 🔗 Read the discussion paper: https://ow.ly/OQ1f50WMGre This new discussion paper is an important step towards a standardised approach for banks to set nature-related impact targets at a portfolio level, something for which no clear methodology previously existed. The paper builds on existing frameworks like the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) LEAP approach and Science Based Targets Network (SBTN), providing a clear two-phase structure for banks to identify nature-related data and set targets with their clients. This is a critical contribution to the evolving landscape of nature-related financial risk management. United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI), UNEP-WCMC

🌍 Powering Transformative Business Leadership for Nature – an invitation to the High-Level Business Summit (10 – 11 October) at the IUCN World Conservation Congress 2025. The world is halfway through a decisive decade for nature. It is essential for the future resilience of the planet and for all societies and businesses, given our dependence on nature, that the ambitions set out in the Global Biodiversity Framework are achieved. Halting and reversing nature loss requires collaborative, cross-sector action that is bold, science-based and innovative, and business and finance have a critical role to play in the transition to a nature positive world. For the first time at an IUCN Congress, business leaders will come together in a high-level forum, embedded within the world’s largest conservation event. The summit will spotlight credible actions, unlock new partnerships and bridge the gap between business ambition and demonstrable impact for nature. This moment must be used to: 1️⃣ Elevate credible leadership 2️⃣ Bridge silos and accelerate alignment 3️⃣ Mobilise investment and commitments Over 50 global business leaders have already confirmed their participation, signalling the growing appetite for change and the need for credible platforms where it can be shaped, accelerated and scaled. Our three organisations – IUCN, Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) and Nature Positive Initiative – and many others, are committed to accelerating efforts to catalyse more effective collaborative action across government, science, business, finance and civil society. This is an important and unique opportunity to share the strategic, technical and institutional pathways needed for business and finance to align with the goals of the Global Biodiversity Framework and to contribute meaningfully to delivering nature-positive outcomes. The Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) invites business and finance leaders to join us in Abu Dhabi for the IUCN Congress, from 9 – 13 October 2025. 🔗 Read full statement: https://ow.ly/BAaj50WHoEK #Nature #SustainableFinance #Biodiversity

📈 The 2025 Disclosure Dividend report from CDP highlights the link between environmental risk and financial risk. It also suggests anticipated returns of up to $21 for every dollar spent, for those companies investing in resilience and mitigating climate risk. This concept of disclosure dividend moves climate action from a perceived cost to a clear economic opportunity. 🔗 Read the full report: https://lnkd.in/erYgiCdQ

📽️ On demand: How dependencies and impacts on nature can create financially material risks and opportunities for businesses During London Climate Action Week, we hosted a session with Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the University of Oxford and The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) exploring how dependencies and impacts on nature can create financially material risks and opportunities for businesses. A panel of senior experts shared how business and finance can navigate understanding nature-related dependencies and impacts and how these can create risks and opportunities for business with material financial effects. 🔗 Watch the recording: https://ow.ly/F1gE50WuxR5 The event followed the release of two publications that illustrate the relationship between dependencies and impacts on nature and risks and opportunities to corporates and financial institutions, and the material financial effects. 1️⃣ The evidence of financial effects resulting from nature-related risks written together with the Environmental Change Institute (ECI), University of Oxford, Global Canopy and TNFD, presents learnings from both existing publicly available evidence and companies’ own measurement methods. It demonstrates the material financial implications of nature-related risks for companies and recommends how to improve this evidence. 🔗Download the paper: https://ow.ly/KKJA50Wuy6f 2️⃣ A series of case studies of businesses reporting on nature-related issues, co-authored by GRI and TNFD, explain how report preparers can use GRI’s impact materiality approach and the TNFD LEAP approach to identify nature-related risks and opportunities under a financial or double materiality lens, illustrating how these risks and opportunities can originate from dependencies and impacts on nature. 🔗Download the case studies: https://ow.ly/wXfx50Wuy2A The authors of these publications presented their work, revealing practical insights and learnings. #Nature #Materiality #DoubleMateriality #FinancialRisk #LCAW25

💬 EFRAG has launched a 60-day public consultation survey to gather feedback from stakeholders across the EU corporate reporting ecosystem. Last month, Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) Co-Chairs David Craig and Razan Al Mubarak shared an open letter to EFRAG outlining suggestions for simplifying the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) as part of the omnibus review of #CSRD. This #consultation survey will inform EFRAG's technical advice to the European Commission on revising and simplifying the #ESRS. We encourage organisations to read our letter, which recommends consolidating the current nature-related standards (E2–E5) into one integrated nature standard (a new ESRS E2) covering all realms of nature and four of the five IPBES drivers of change. We believe this approach would enhance interoperability, ensure robust, science-based assessment and support simplification without compromising decision-usefulness for report users. 📄 Read the full letter: https://ow.ly/6B4p50WAOUH The consultation runs from 31 July to 29 September 2025. Stakeholders — including preparers, auditors, civil society, investors, and national authorities — are invited to review the revised drafts and share their views. 💬 Share your views with EFRAG: https://ow.ly/8lP750WAOUI #TNFD #ESRS #CSRD #Biodiversity #NaturePositive #SustainabilityReporting #Interoperability

Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) is delighted to be co-hosting this webinar, Integrating Nature into Financial Institutions, with Asia Investor Group on Climate Change (AIGCC).

📈 New discussion paper on nature-related dependencies and impacts on nature in financial portfolios. 🔗 Download the paper: https://lnkd.in/g7-_CCMw Many financial institutions are starting to assess and disclose their nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks and opportunities (DIROs) arising from their clients and portfolio companies. However, there are barriers to doing this effectively and comprehensively. Informed by a wide range of financial institutions and market data providers and online with the Institute of International Finance, the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) has published a discussion paper that explores these barriers and considers the practical challenges financial institutions face in identifying, assessing and disclosing nature-related dependencies and impacts at the portfolio level. The paper aims to: 1️⃣ Examine the potential for financed impact driver metrics and response metrics to support more decision-useful portfolio-level analysis 2️⃣ Recognise key barriers such as data gaps, attribution complexity and lack of methodological consistency 3️⃣ Provide questions and reflections on metric development and parallels with greenhouse gas disclosure practices, particularly around proxy-based approaches and financed emissions. We invite feedback on metric priorities, methodological approaches, and practical data solutions to inform future guidance. 🗓️ Open for consultation until 3 November 2025. #NatureRisk #DIROs #PortfolioCompanies #FinancialInstitutions
