A roundtable discussion: How financial institutions can measure biodiversity impacts and dependencies
4 October 2022
The participants included representatives from academia, data providers, NGOs, and financial institutions.
There were two specific aims:
-
To build connections between different groups working on biodiversity, who are currently operating in silos.
-
To illuminate the challenges facing financial institutions when integrating biodiversity considerations into their investment decisions.
Three questions were discussed and debated in detail:
-
Are the existing biodiversity measurement techniques being used by financial institutions driving the real-world outcomes we need to see?
-
Is new biodiversity-related regulation supporting the outcomes we need to see?
-
What does nature-positive investment look like?
