Summary
With S&P Global Sustainable1 & the United Nations Environment Programme World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC)
The speed and scale of biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation is the highest in history. With an estimated $44 trillion, or over half of the world’s GDP, moderately or highly dependent on nature corporates and financial institutions need a credible, quantitative approach to measure the biodiversity impact of their operations and portfolios, mitigate risks, and advance nature-positive outcomes to build resilience.
Join S&P Global for an educative webinar showcasing how interpreting geospatial biodiversity data sets curated by the UN Environment Programme World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC) with S&P Global’s in-depth information about local business activities, provides important insight across assets, companies, supply chains, and investment portfolios.
Attendees will be invited to join a knowledge community consulting on the development of nature risk profiling data intelligence to provide feedback on the practical implementation of the TNFD framework, currently in beta version, and support global efforts to shift capital towards nature-positive outcomes.
Register now to join the discussion or receive the on-demand replay.
