Aviva and WWF just released a joint report calling for the private sector and the UK government to collaborate on developing nature-positive strategies. "The approach aims to address both the climate crisis and the degradation of nature, which are seen as critical threats to the economy and financial system. The report emphasises that neither the government nor the private sector can tackle these crises in isolation." 👏 👏

🌿 Launch of New Finance for Nature Positive Discussion Paper 🌿 Together with United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) we are excited to announce the publication of "Finance for Nature Positive: Building a Working Model". This discussion paper provides key insights and strategies on how private finance can contribute to achieving Nature Positive goals, and intends to solicit feedback on the proposed working model. By fostering consensus on definitions and good practices, it aims to support the development of strategies for improving the state of nature. 📍 The paper was created with the support of the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) and was coordinated on behalf of the Finance for Biodiversity Foundation and United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) FI memberships. It was reviewed by representatives from both memberships and the wider community. The working model also draws on insights collected through extensive collaboration with over 100 experts from the financial sector, scientists, and key global stakeholders. We encourage the wider financial sector, government representatives, scientists, Indigenous Peoples & Local Communities and other stakeholders to review the paper and provide input through a questionnaire: https://lnkd.in/dt7GtB6W The full discussion paper and news article can be accessed here https://lnkd.in/dP_SJ45Z #NaturePositive #KMGBF #FinanceforNaturePositive

📢 Exciting news! We are proud to announce the release of our latest multi-tool study, which dives deep into the biodiversity impacts and dependencies of over 2,300 global equity companies and industries. This groundbreaking research uses leading biodiversity footprinting tools and reveals that targeting a small number of companies and industries, which disproportionately contribute to biodiversity loss, can significantly reduce negative impacts across the MSCI ACWI index. 💡 What´s new? This initiative builds on a 2023 pilot study and has been expanded to include a broader range of companies, including emerging markets, and provides more detailed, company-level impact assessments while incorporating ecosystem service dependencies. Join us for the launch webinar on 2nd October at 3pm CEST to explore the findings and gain valuable insights to help you tailor your investor engagement actions and refine your portfolio management strategies. 📅 Date: 2nd October ⏰ Time: 3pm CEST (2pm BST) Finance for Biodiversity has produced this report in collaboration with Annelisa Grigg and Globalbalance Ltd and received technical support from the consultant Wildcap.
