Biodiversity and nature have emerged as a prominent next focus for many investors, given how closely they are intertwined with the challenges of climate change.
Building on the momentum generated by a couple of TAI working groups, we have created several valuable resources to further our exploration of these critical issues, including investment insights, videos and more.
Of particular interest is our Nature and biodiversity loss toolkit developed in partnership with EOS at Federated Hermes Limited. It identifies eight priority steps for investors to carry out as they recognise their important role in deploying capital which mitigates nature-related risks and helps to address biodiversity loss.
In addition, we show below the thought-provoking survey responses from our dynamic Investing for Tomorrow – Environment working group.
With the highest certainty, we can say that it is much more than 50 percent of GDP that depends on biodiversity. Actually, everything depends on nature. So, it is a potential systemic risk for our global economies.
