The Dasgupta Review, published in February, clearly laid out how our economic system is embedded in nature and emphasised the role of the global financial system in bringing about change to halt biodiversity loss. Nevertheless, investors, asset managers, banks and other financial institutions lack tangible tools for evaluating biodiversity risks and impacts in their portfolios.
To address these challenges, we warmly invite you to a webinar on Friday 18th June at 11:00-14:00 Finnish time (09:00-12:00 BST, 10:00-13:00 CEST). At the webinar we will be hearing global state-of-the-art approaches for how investors could start evaluating biodiversity impacts and risks in their portfolios. The webinar is free for anyone to attend.
