Resource Description

This report summarizes LSFI’s 2023 Biodiversity Masterclass, introducing biodiversity concepts, global frameworks such as the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and TNFD, and practical steps for financial institutions to integrate biodiversity into decision-making.

Why This Matters

Embedding biodiversity in finance helps manage risks and redirect capital toward nature-positive outcomes, strengthening resilience and supporting sustainable development.

Key Insights

Biodiversity loss is accelerating and poses systemic risks to economies and societies
International frameworks call for stronger integration of nature in financial decisions and transparent disclosure of impacts and risks
TNFD provides guidance through the LEAP approach to assess dependencies, risks, and opportunities
Financial institutions can respond by setting biodiversity policies, assessing sector impacts, applying footprint tools, and adopting engagement or exclusion strategies
Case studies show how firms in high-impact sectors can be assessed and supported toward better practices
