Details

The subject of natural capital investment is increasingly on the agenda for investors and central banks, whose interest in the theme could be as transformative as it has been for climate.

Despite the growing interest plus an increasing number of funds being created, natural capital investment opportunities remain limited and biodiversity needs to be built into consideration of all companies and their investors

Attend this conference to discuss the challenges and opportunities for financial institutions, investors, and service providers in this evolving space.

Some of the key areas of discussion include:
• Achieving net zero: re-imagining our relationship with nature
• Risk strategies under the microscope: blue and green
• Bridging data gaps, standardising reporting and developing robust scenario analyses
• Looking ahead at COP 15 in Kumming
• Scaling natural capital investment to build the market
• Blended finance: blue bonds and successful investing
• TFND progress report
• Using the science of climate change to move nature investment on
• How are investors approaching natural capital?
