The UN Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) is partnering with key organisations to accelerate market adoption of nature-related financial disclosures. The first strategic initiative launched by UNEP FI in partnership with the UN Sustainable Stock Exchanges Initiative (UN SSE) aims to build capacity in stock exchanges. The two bodies will develop model guidance to help stock exchanges support listed companies in adopting and implementing the recommendations of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD). “Stock exchanges are uniquely positioned to assist companies in adopting globally recognised frameworks like the TNFD, which advance market transparency and contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals,” said Anthony Miller, Chief Coordinator of the UN SSE Initiative. Meanwhile, UNEP FI is also working with the Principles for Responsible Investments (PRI) and World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) to support TNFD-aligned disclosures. “This collaboration builds upon our earlier work with the TNFD and partners to provide market clarity and contribute to nature-positive goals,” said UNEP FI Head Eric Usher. “By engaging with global financial actors and real economy players, we can ensure the financial sector plays a central role in advancing biodiversity goals and building resilience in a rapidly changing world.”
