As nature-related risks and opportunities become increasingly material for businesses and financial institutions, the demand for credible, decision-useful nature reporting is growing rapidly. With the release and early adoption of the recommendations from TNFD, companies and investors are moving from awareness to implementation – testing tools, data, and metrics that translate nature-related impacts and dependencies into meaningful business and financial decisions. 

The Future of Nature Reporting brings together senior leaders from corporates, investors, banks, insurers, data providers, academia, NGOs, regulators and global standard setters to explore what effective nature reporting looks like in practice and where the field is heading next. 

This session is organised as part of the regional Nature Reporting Preparer Forum, a global capacity-building program designed to support organisations as they move along the TNFD-adoption curve, led by WBCSD, UNPRI, UNEP-FI and UNSSEI. It supports companies in building a practical understanding of nature-related assessments using the LEAP approach, ultimately encouraging organisational commitments to report on nature. 

It is supported by the International Climate Initiative (IKI) of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Climate Action, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMUKN) via the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). 

Spaces are limited. You will receive a confirmation if your registration is successful. Priority will be given to existing NRPF cohort participants, other members of convening organisations, official partners and relevant stakeholders.
