Join our Biodiversity Data and Measurement webinars on 30 June and 12 July
UNEP FI, the Finance@Biodiversity Community and the Finance for Biodiversity Foundation will organise two webinars on biodiversity data and measurement approaches. On 30 June, we present the findings from the report ‘Nature in a Haystack’ which identifies the availability and suitability of publicly available nature-related data to support financial decision-making in five case-study countries. The 12 July webinar will update you on the latest developments in impact assessment by financial institutions, based on the revised edition of the ‘Guide on biodiversity measurement approaches’ that is currently in the making.
Webinar: Nature in a Haystack – how to use publicly available nature-related data
30 June 2022, 2-3 pm CEST
Data and analytics will play a fundamental role in helping companies and financial institutions to identify, manage and report on nature-related risks and opportunities. But which data is publicly available and how to use it?
In this webinar, we present the findings from the report ‘Nature in a Haystack’ which identifies the availability and suitability of publicly available nature-related data to support financial decision-making in five case-study countries. And we learn from the work of UNDP on how to use publicly available nature data in the interface between private sector and regulatory frameworks on ESG issues. The Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) will also share their approach to data challenges, and present their landscape assessment on data availability. We will then speak with two data providers – MSCI and CDC Biodiversité on their approaches and solutions.

Webinar: How to measure biodiversity impact? Guidance on approaches and tools
12 July 2022, 2-3 pm CEST
Financial institutions want and have to measure their impact on biodiversity to be able to halt and reverse the loss. But how to get started, and what approaches are out there?
The EU Business and Biodiversity Platform and its Finance@Biodiversity Community have been assessing and sharing biodiversity measurement approaches since 2017. Together with the Finance for Biodiversity Foundation, a comprehensive Guide on biodiversity measurement approaches was developed in 2021. The Guide provides a starting point for financial institutions that are interested in measuring biodiversity.
This webinar will update you on the latest developments and approaches based on the revised edition of the biodiversity measurement Guide that is currently in the making. In addition, the Finance for Biodiversity Foundation Impact Assessment working group will present and discuss the latest insights concerning the consultation they organized. They will provide a sneak preview of the FfB guidance on biodiversity approaches.
The webinar allows for a Q&A with the experts. Questions that cannot be answered during the webinar, will be answered in writing afterwards.
