"Nature may be considered as a silent stakeholder." (ESRS 1)
With this idea in mind, and as the UN World Wildlife Day recently celebrated on 3rd March, it is worth celebrating the incredible diversity of life on our planet, while reflecting on the important role finance can play in preserving biodiversity.
Our societies, economies and natural systems are now more interconnected than ever before with most economic sectors increasingly dependent on the health and stability of ecosystem services.
Governments and regulators have increasingly focused on nature and biodiversity conservation, with initiatives such as the EU Nature Restoration Law and the UK's Biodiversity Net Gain scheme. A wide range of frameworks and tools have also been developed to assist organizations to navigate this landscape. This includes the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (“TNFD”) that published the final version of its recommended disclosures in September 2023.
As such, the finance sector has the power to drive positive change by integrating ESG factors across investment decisions, and channelling funds towards projects that support conservation and biodiversity.
At WeESG, we understand how important it is for the finance sector to navigate biodiversity risks and opportunities. Our latest course on Biodiversity and the Task Force on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) is tailored specifically to help finance professionals gain a deep understanding of the implications this significant market development will bring and how their organisations should respond.

Sunday is World Wildlife Day.
Our existence depends on wildlife & biodiversity resources meeting our needs -- from food to fuel, from medicines to housing.
Ecosystems must thrive, and plant & animal species must exist for future generations. https://lnkd.in/grBStKHk
