As we mark five years of accelerating finance for nature, we wanted to pause and hear directly from the financial institutions driving this work forward.

Today, the Finance for Biodiversity (FfB) Foundation celebrates its five‑year anniversary. We take a moment to reflect on the impact of the Foundation in the last few years, as well as to look at the road ahead.

In our latest Member Good Practice Spotlight, we recognise Robeco for its data-driven and systematic approach to embedding biodiversity into stewardship and investment decision-making.

Next in the Investor Engagement Series - we're pleased to launch a new Investor Engagement Brief on Nature focused on the Chemicals sector, one of the eight high-impact sectors identified by Nature Action 100 (NA100).

This week we hosted our first Finance for Biodiversity Foundation Members Meeting of the year, bringing together our community online to reflect on progress and set priorities for the year ahead.

As part of the newly launched FfB Hub, we are excited to launch the new FfB Hub Workshop programme, open to FfB members and FfB Hub participants. The series of eight workshops is designed to help build knowledge and capacity to embed nature considerations into your financial design making and strategies, whether you are looking to deepen existing nature-related work, or just starting to explore risks and opportunities.

The paper introduces the concept of Sectoral Nature-Positive Transition Pathways (NPPs) and calls on governments to co-develop them with businesses, academia, and civil society to guide key sectors through the transition.

 Finance for Biodiversity Foundation publishes a short paper translating the outcomes of the IPBES Business & Biodiversity Assessment for financial institutions, to provide support to our community in implementing its recommended next steps for nature action.

FfB Foundation welcomes the launch of the IPBES Business and Biodiversity Assessment Report, a landmark report developed by more than 80 experts synthesising for the first time the global evidence base on how businesses impact and depend on biodiversity and nature’s contributions to people. 

For decades, warnings of ecosystem collapse were treated as the domain of activists and specialized scientists. But as of late January 2026, the conversation has fundamentally shifted with the UK Government’s Nature Security Assessment. The collapse of global ecosystems is a "grade-A" risk to national security and, by extension, the global financial system.
