Biodiversity Guide 1: Understanding the link between biodiversity and finance

The COP 15 for biodiversity in Montreal underlined the importance of action by financial institutions to preserve the ecosystems. They are thus strongly encouraged to implement a biodiversity strategy. However, the subject is complex, and according to an analysis WeeFin conducted on 11 asset management companies, only 2 have set biodiversity-related objectives.To assist clients in developing and implementing a biodiversity strategy, WeeFin has put together a series of educational resources covering various aspects. The first guide establishes the link between biodiversity and finance:

• An introduction to biodiversity and the challenges
• Figures on the impact of human activities on biodiversity
• Double materiality and the influence of financial institutions
• A calendar of biodiversity-related regulatory requirements

This guide is available in both French and English.
