Biodiversity and nature are gaining attention from companies, investors and governments. At the same time, many stakeholders are in the early stages of measuring and understanding nature-related risks.

In this episode of ESG Insider, we sit down at the GreenFin conference with Tony Goldner, Executive Director of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD). He explains how TNFD’s soon-to-be-finalized set of disclosure recommendations could help companies understand their nature-related risks and increase investment in nature-related climate solutions.

"These two things are inextricably linked, and the solutions to one will enable solutions to the other," Tony tells us. "The science is increasingly clear: We're not going to get to net-zero if nature is not absolutely at the core of the solution set."
