In December 2022, 195 governments signed the Kunming-Montreal declaration which included 23 targets on biodiversity. Target 15 requires them to:
“Take legal, administrative or policy measures to encourage and enable business, and in particular to ensure that large and transnational companies and financial institutions:
(a) Regularly monitor, assess, and transparently disclose their risks, dependencies and impacts on biodiversity including with requirements for all large as well as transnational companies and financial institutions along their operations, supply and value chains and portfolios;
(b) Provide information needed to consumers to promote sustainable consumption patterns;
(c) Report on compliance with access and benefit-sharing regulations and measures, as applicable;
in order to progressively reduce negative impacts on biodiversity, increase positive impacts, reduce biodiversity-related risks to business and financial institutions, and promote actions to ensure sustainable patterns of production.”
NatuRisk supports the TNFD LEAP methodology
It can help banks complete the following steps:
- L2 Biome Identification
- L3 Priority Location Identification
- L4 Sector Identification
- E2 Identification of Dependencies and Impacts
- E3 Dependency Analysis
- E4 Impact Analysis
- A4 Materiality Assessment
NatuRisk combines science-based sector dependency models, including those from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)’s ENCORE, with models built on geospatial data such as Copernicus/Sentinel to model both the impact of the various economic activities of customers in a commercial portfolio on Nature, and the value of Nature at risk at their operating locations to provide powerful insights into both the levels of Nature Risk an organisation is exposed to and the drivers for it.
