Webinar Series: Meet the Tool Developer

We’re excited to kick off the Finance for Biodiversity “Meet the Tool Developer” webinar series.  

These sessions provide FfB members and Hub participants a technical deep dive into the latest tools and solutions for assessing biodiversity impacts and dependencies, and insights into how financial institutions can apply them in practice.  

Session1: UNEP-WCMC

14 April | 15:00–16:00 CET  

In the first session, we welcome UNEP-WCMC to present the Nature Tool Compass (developed under the SUSTAIN Project in collaboration with partner organisations) and ENCORE.   

The Nature Tools Compass is a toolbox designed to help financial institutions and businesses navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of nature-related tools. It provides a structure overview of more than 70 available tools, helping users identify, compare and select the most relevant solutions based on their specific needs and use cases. ENCORE – one of the tools included in the toolbox and a widely used tool in the finance community – supports the assessment of nature-related impacts and dependencies at the sector level.   

The session will explore: 

• Insights into the methodologies 
• Key features and outputs of both tools (Nature Tool Compass & ENCORE) 
• How the tools support biodiversity impact and dependency assessments and practical examples 

The session will include a live walkthrough and an interactive Q&A, giving attendees the chance to engage directly with the tool developers and fellow participants.
