Navigating Nature-Related Risks: Identifying and assessing materiality of nature-related issues and their impact on the risk profile of financial institutions

Thursday, October 2, 2025 From 13:00 to 14:30 (CET) Centre International de Conférences Genève - Room F (Level 3)
Nature

Globally, financial regulators are increasingly expecting financial institutions to identify risks from climate change and nature loss. Materiality analyses are the base for effective risk management, but uncertainties pose challenges, often leading to nature loss being deemed immaterial. This event is designed to help financial institutions understand regulatory expectations regarding nature-related risk management, enhance their risk identification and management capabilities, and will include an interactive knowledge-sharing section.


Framing this topic

This short section provides context for the event to ensure all participants, regardless of prior knowledge, are equipped to engage with the discussion.

We aim to present and discuss global supervisory expectations related to nature risk identification as assessed in the annual WWF Sustainable Financial Regulations report “SUSREG”.
