Pragmatism matters if financial institutions aim to drive real #decarbonization or preservation of #nature, agreed by Melissa Moi, Head of Sustainable Business, Group Corporate Sustainability Office at UOB, Mikkel Larsen, CEO of Climate Impact X, and MSCI’s Sylvain Vanston in a discussion at #ClimateActionConf24 in Singapore that unpacked #biodiversity risk. 
  
Financial institutions and investors get a better outcome with the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), Larsen observed, when they “see it as a risk exercise, not as a reporting exercise.” 
  
There is no one-size-fits-all approach, “especially with nature, which is so geographically dependent,” Moi noted, adding that target-setting needs to focus on "actual understanding of what's happening from a real-economy perspective, and how to help close the gap instead of only getting scolded for breaching that line.”

Join us at our Financial Frontiers: Climate Strategies and Transition Frameworks discussion – we will explore four key dimensions of the transition to a low-carbon economy and their impacts on investors.

Planting forests for carbon (and biodiversity) has become a new trend in the investment world, making Afforestation, Reforestation, and Revegetation (#ARR) one of the fastest growing project types in the #CarbonCredit market.

Credit buyers or investors looking to stake their claim in the world of forest carbon, however, will need to look out for more than just affordable land. Join us in the upcoming webinar by MSCI Carbon Markets to answer the most important questions that should be on every ARR buyer's or investor's checklist.
