  • Policy and regulatory action in line with the goals defined by the global biodiversity framework (GBF) achieved at COP 15 is required to give the financials and corporate sectors an economic reason to act in support of the GBF’s objectives.
  • Nature is essential to the global economy but, currently, it isn’t valued in our accounting systems, and companies aren’t disclosing their dependencies and impact on nature.
  • Today, both public and private asset classes offer vehicles for nature-positive investment, but regulation, valuation, and disclosure systems must be operable for these investments to scale significantly enough to meet the GBF-identified financial gap.
