From Nature Risk to Portfolio Action: Stress Testing Climate & Biodiversity Together
How can financial institutions integrate biodiversity loss into portfolio decision-making? This interactive roundtable builds on BIROFIN research linking climate scenarios, ecosystem service loss, and macroeconomic impacts. Participants will explore how these insights can inform portfolio stress testing, screening, and capital allocation, drawing on findings from soil, pollination, and land-use scenarios, as well as emerging work on water-related risks.

Climate and biodiversity risks are increasingly recognised as material for financial stability, yet they are rarely integrated in a coherent way in portfolio-level decision-making. BIROFIN bridges this gap by linking climate scenarios to biodiversity loss, translating ecosystem service degradation into macroeconomic impacts, and connecting these insights to financial use cases such as portfolio stress testing. This session builds on recent BIROFIN findings on soil quality- and pollination-loss, and introduces emerging work on water-related risks. It invites participants to explore how such insights can be applied in practice and what is needed to move from analysis to capital allocation.
