Nature-Related Disclosures Will Widen Data Gaps In The Financial Sector That Technology Will Be Critical In Filling
The Task Force on Nature-related Financial Disclosures is taking final feedback ahead of a September 2023 release
Financial institutions already challenged by climate-related risks & disclosures will face an added burden to incorporate nature risks
Technology will play an important role in understanding, measuring and disclosing nature risks, a key rationale for the RFI’s Blue Finance Challenge
Emerging Market Banks Are Highly Vulnerable To Nature Risk
Financial institutions in emerging & developing markets have 45-55% of their financing assets exposed to at least one ecosystem service risk
Nature risks are often linked with climate risks, which has raised regulatory concerns about their impact on financial stability risks, as well as microprudential risks that banks should consider
Because nature risks are so embedded throughout global supply chains, they may attract capital to mitigate the risks that have been more limited in response to climate change, and banks will need to understand the sources of their nature & climate risks
