There are several sustainability reporting initiatives aiming to enhance disclosure and transparency and each have nuances that leaders need to understand before committing to a specific approach. Read this article about the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) and makes it different from other reporting initiatives. #worldenvironmentday #TNFD #sustainabilityreporting #climatechange #biodiversityloss
Happy World Environment Day! 🌿 🌎 This year, the annual UN campaign is focused on #GenerationRestoration, which encourages awareness around desertification, land restoration and drought resilience. To align with this goal and to preserve our planet’s #biodiversity and limit our day-to-day impact on the environment, the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) has come into force. The initiative addresses the nature-related dependencies of businesses and finance. In a special two-part series, Prasad Gollakota, CFA, MAICD takes a deep dive into what the #TNFD is, what it’s trying to accomplish and how biodiversity loss will impact businesses globally. Read part one below and learn about the framework’s four pillars and how it differs from other #sustainability disclosures and reporting initiatives. Stay tuned for part two, coming this week! https://lnkd.in/endQENBg #SustainabilityUnlocked #Learning #TogetherForOurPlanet #Education #WorldEnvironmentDay

Here we go again... the EU #NatureRestorationLaw is one more time under (serious) threats! On the back of populism, approahcing elections, continuous farmer protests, rising living costs, and many other excuses, ill-informed politicans concentrated on short-term gains are putting the credibility of the EU at risk and the fate of its nature, our nature, close to the abyss. For a detailed overview of this sad story: https://lnkd.in/eiZ5phhP It's however (hopefully) not too late! In this context, #progressive #businesses, #financiers and #policymakers have a key role to play to create a positive narrative for the transition of our society towards a more sustainable net-zero, nature positive and socially just model. You don't know where to start?! The latest newsletter of the EU Business & Biodiversity Platform is a great place to start. Mark your calendars: ▶ 4 April: new edition fo the #BiodiversityBasics webinar organised by the EU B&B Platform > https://lnkd.in/eAGaHwCi ▶ 10 April: launch of our thematic report on #Biodiversity #Disclosure that highlights the major differences and similarities across 6 major disclosure frameworks > https://lnkd.in/ex6uB8-y ▶ 23 April: webinar on Finance and the Global Biodiversity Framework: navigating the road to COP 16 organised with Principles for Responsible Investment and United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) > https://lnkd.in/epyxExDP ▶ 26 April: webinar on Transforming finance for biodiversity and climate actio organised with TRANSPATH Project > https://lnkd.in/e7cMPhAn And there is more to come! Wait no more: engage, assess, commit, transform, disclose! With Yann Verstraeten, Lola Bourboulon, Pia Malia, Johan LAMMERANT, Wouter Dieleman, Anne-Marie Bor and many more.
Join us on April 4th at 14:00 CET for the Biodiversity Basics Webinar!

Our oceans are integral to supporting life on Earth. They host a vast array of biodiversity and vibrant ecosystems. They provide natural barriers against coastal erosion and flooding. Fish and other seafood support global food security. And of course our seas also support the generation of renewable energy offshore, vital for our transition to net zero. However, our seas are coming under increasing pressure. Rising temperatures, ocean acidification, deoxygenation, pollution and other forms of environmental change driven by human activities are leading to their deterioration. High-integrity natural capital markets are one mechanism which could support the scale of investment required into marine nature recovery projects which can overcome these pressures. Today sees the publication of a report by The Crown Estate, in partnership with Blue Marine Foundation, Finance Earth and Pollination, which highlights barriers and potential solutions to the development of high-integrity natural capital markets in the UK marine environment. This is an important step in the journey towards delivering marine restoration projects at scale and I encourage all stakeholders to read the report and share their feedback by the deadline of 26th October.
In partnership with Blue Marine Foundation, Finance Earth and Pollination, we have today published a joint report highlighting the key barriers and potential solutions to the development of high-integrity natural capital markets in the marine environment across the UK. A potential vehicle by which investment into #NatureRecovery projects can be achieved at scale, the purpose of new marine natural capital markets is to help achieve publicly determined goals for the health and function of the marine environment, where success is not possible with public funding alone. The world’s oceans host a vast array of biodiversity, with countless species and dynamic ecosystems that ensure the stability and resilience of a healthy planet. However, rising temperatures, ocean acidification, deoxygenation, pollution, and other forms of environmental change caused by human activities are driving their deterioration. The finance gap to meet the UK’s nature-related outcomes is estimated to be at least between £44 billion and £97 billion over the next 10 years – with a central estimate of £56 billion. With input from almost 100 stakeholders and global experts, today's report lists a number of recommendations on how to overcome the barriers to market development. We're now inviting stakeholders to have their say on this first stage of research to refine and enhance initial findings, achieve consensus around next steps and develop a shared roadmap for their implementation. Restoration and conservation of the UK's natural environment cannot be achieved overnight nor can it be delivered by any one organisation alone. As a significant national landowner, which includes management of the seabed around England, Wales and Northern Ireland, we are committed to working with others to enhance our investment in nature recovery and to safeguard the health of our #MarineEnvironment for future generations.

🌿 Celebrating World Rainforest Day Tomorrow! Rainforests are essential for global biodiversity and ecosystem balance, housing more than half of the world's plant and animal species. Rainforests play a crucial role in climate regulation and carbon sequestration. On World Rainforest Day, let's recognize the importance of protecting these ecosystems. At the Institute for Sustainable Finance at Smith School of Business at Queen's University, we emphasize the need for nature reporting and biodiversity preservation. Our work with the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) provides businesses with tools to manage and disclose nature-related risks. Learn more about integrating nature into financial decisions: https://lnkd.in/g5jDrbhD Let's act to protect our rainforests for a sustainable future. 🌎 #WorldRainforestDay #Biodiversity #Sustainability #NatureReporting #ISF #TNFD #ClimateAction #NatureBasedSolutions

This is going in the right direction! You may also look at connecting (if you haven't already) with what CSIRO is doing in trying to establish a way to account for natural capital. Once we find a trusted way to capitalise natural capital in balance sheets, we will be able to create a way to properly value the world we live in and from.

This is a significant piece of work. Its recommendations are relevant to barriers to inland natural capital markets. While the central estimate figure of a £56bn finance gap to meet our nature-related outcomes is daunting, the good news is that the demand from investors for investment vehicles such as this is huge. Viz, the drive for TCFD and TNFD, along with a need for converged value accounting practices to allow investors in these markets to make better choices on what they invest in.

There are no shortcuts to nature positive. Our new article (https://rdcu.be/dmIek, message me for PDF, summary here: https://lnkd.in/gQM2AyYM) outlines 3 fundamental requirements to ensure there is more nature in the future than now: 1) rigorously applying the mitigation hierarchy to all direct biodiversity impacts (note - we have totally failed at this so far), 2) expanding the MH to entire value chains (note previous note), and 3) compensating for vast historical damage. But note - skipping the previous two steps and going straight to buying a few voluntary biodiversity/nature credits whilst going about business as usual is an absolute recipe for failure - and corporations must be cognisant of the risk of making false or misleading claims.

‘Nature Positive’ opens the door to greenwashing, unless the misinterpretable term is protected from misuse (e.g. the words can only be used in advertising if certified/checked by a regulatory body &/or credible scientists). Value-laden words like ‘Anzac Day’, ‘Olympics’ and ‘National Park’ are already protected, why not ‘Nature-Positive’ ? Assessing genuine NP initiatives and holding developers & corporate sector (and their media campaigns) to account on greenwashing is one of the many ethical challenges for environmental consultants #EthicalEnvironmentalPractice
