PB 5/2024: Biodiversity and Financial Risk Assessments

  • The rapid loss of biodiversity is threatening the ecosystem services that many
    industries rely on, also posing significant risks to financial institutions and the
    overall financial system.
  • Regulations like the SFDR, Taxonomy, and CSRD, therefore, aim to push
    companies and financial institutions to be more transparent about how their
    activities affect and depend on biodiversity.
  • But financial institutions have been slow to account for biodiversity risks in
    their decision-making, often blaming the complexity of the issue and the lack
    of reliable, high-quality data.
  • While several tools and metrics exist to help assess biodiversity risks, each has
    limitations and often needs to be used in combination to be effective.
  • In addition, gaps and inconsistencies in current disclosure requirements do
    make this task even more daunting.
  • This policy brief offers recommendations to policymakers, financial
    institutions, and businesses on how they can better analyse and manage
    biodiversity risks.
