Biodiversity and Investment Report
Conserving habitats and safeguarding biodiversity largely falls to the corporate world and its responsible investors
Biodiversity is no longer a niche topic for the investor community, in part thanks to the work of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD). This marks a huge change from just two or three years ago, when ESG professionals were overwhelmingly focused on climate. Now, as the chilling extent of threats to nature becomes impossible to ignore, investors increasingly believe they can and must be part of the solution.
In this report, we assess whether the TNFD is on track to gather sufficient signatories; take a closer look at APAC’s most eager proponent of biodiversity safeguards, Japan; and analyse an innovative financial lever that can be adopted to foster conservation, debt-for-nature swaps; plus lots more besides.
