Nature in the Boardroom: Asking the right questions


Big Room

To mitigate nature-related risks and promote long-term sustainability, boards of financial institutions need to understand how nature can translate to material risks and opportunities. A panel discussion led by the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative in collaboration with Deloitte.

This event will introduce the latest report, ‘Nature in the Boardroom: Asking the right questions’, which will equip board members of financial institutions with a comprehensive understanding of how nature-related risks and opportunities affect their strategic mandates and responsibilities. Financial institutions’ leadership, including board members and executive officers, must grasp the implications of nature on their evolving roles. This event, hosted by UNEP FI and Deloitte, will emphasize the fiduciary responsibility of financial institutions in considering nature into business models. Participants will learn the first insights in how to ensure proactive leadership and strategic decision-making for nature activation.
