Growing integration of nature-related risks in global financial regulations: UN report
Regulatory efforts are led by the Global South and Europe.
A UN-led report has found that nature-related risks are increasingly recognised as critical to financial stability – with various countries introducing nature and biodiversity elements as part of prudential regulation.
In total, 29 of the more than 50 jurisdictions reviewed by the UN Environment Programme’s Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) and WWF have started to consider nature risks in their prudential frameworks, with efforts led by the Global South and Europe.
