Environmental Finance is pleased to announce that its fourth annual conference returns in-person, taking place.
With the interest in ESG investing at an all-time high, institutional investors are shining a light on a previously sidelined indicator of environmental health: biodiversity.
But despite 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, corporates, and service providers in this evolving space.
Some of the key areas of discussion include:
• Achieving net zero: re-imagining our relationship with nature
• How are investors approaching natural capital?
• What are the business needs related to natural capital data?
• How can central banks confront biodiversity risk?
• What is the direction of regulation and policy in natural capital?
• Scaling natural capital investment to build the market
