Physical manifestations of climate change and nature degradation are already escalating, including wildfires, droughts, pests, and diseases. These are rapidly reducing nature’s ability to offer climate mitigation and adaptation services and also have major financial implications. Since 2017, average annual insured losses of physical risks exceeded USD 110 billion, more than doubling versus the previous five-year average.

To ensure sustainable economic prosperity for future generations, we need to shift from production and consumption models that rely on nature destruction to ones that utilise renewable natural capital and place nature protection and restoration at the heart of transformed value chains. In this discussion, we unpack what this transition actually involves, particularly for investors.
