About the course
Nature is in crisis. Yet, its vital for our survival and our economy. According to the World Economic Forum, 50% of our economy is directly to nature . Recognising this is the first step to combatting the nature crisis.
Companies have a huge role to play in reducing their impact on the natural world. The starting point for that is understanding organisational impact through assessment and reporting. Through this we can understand more clearly how our businesses impact biodiversity, and how loss of biodiversity could impact our businesses; the so called double materiality of nature. Strategies to address these risks and impacts can then be produced.
Nature-reporting frameworks such as TNFD allow us to begin to understand this in more detail; to get oversight of nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks and opportunities; and enable businesses to integrate nature into decision making.
It is expected that nature-disclosure will become a legal requirement in the near future (it is for some organisations in the EU). The UK is a signatory of the global biodiversity framework, which means that we’re committed to implementing the framework goals and targets, to which monitoring and reporting is key.
This half day in person masterclass, will introduce nature-disclosure and the frameworks that are on offer. Through discussion and other exercises, delegates will learn what their business can and should do, and how to go about getting started.
