About this talk

The nature crisis is a growing global challenge, and the banking industry has a critical role to play in addressing it. Join us on October 21st for the launch of the PRB Nature Sector Action Guidance, a comprehensive framework aimed at helping banks to take actions aligned with the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). Developed in partnership with The Biodiversity Consultancy, this guidance focuses on actionable steps for banks to integrate nature into their core practices, particularly in high-impact sectors like mining, agriculture, and forestry. It also highlights how banks can support their clients in taking priority actions that directly address nature loss, contributing to the $700 billion annual biodiversity financing gap. This guidance provides sector-specific insights on key commodities—such as bauxite, copper, cattle, wood, and soy—detailing both the actions and nature-related impacts banks should consider in their client dialogues. Through the use of real-world examples and practical recommendations, the PRB Nature Sector Action Guidance empowers banks to take immediate, informed action and support a nature-positive future. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how your institution can contribute to halting and reversing nature loss. Speakers include: • Grant Rudgley, Technical Director, Nature Finance, The Biodiversity Consultancy • Margriet Coster, Senior ESG Analyst, Danske Bank • Gratien Davasse, Associate, Green & Sustainable Hub, Natixis • Jessica Smith, Nature Lead, UNEP FI • Oualid Rokneddine, Banking & Nature Manager, UNEP FI

United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) is a partnership between United Nations Environment and the global financial sector created in the wake of the 1992 Earth Summit with a mission to promote sustainable finance. More than 240 financial institutions, including banks, insurers, and investors, work with UN Environment to understand today’s environmental, social and governance challenges, why they matter to finance, and how to actively participate in addressing them. UNEP FI’s work also includes a strong focus on policy – by facilitating country-level dialogues between finance practitioners, supervisors, regulators and policy-makers, and, at the international level, by promoting financial sector involvement in processes such as the global climate negotiations.
