The global economy is strongly reliant on nature and the biosphere’s ability to replenish, recover and maintain balance. The interlinkages between the economic system and the ecosystem require a shift away from viewing the economy as separate from the biosphere. The Embassy of Switzerland in the United Kingdom and Building Bridges are hosting a panel discussion on September 21 to address the role of finance for nature. This discussion will explore how the economic, international and finance community can collaborate and develop joint solutions for nature and biodiversity. 

Impact investors and firms use different approaches to measure and report on sustainability. In this research project by the SL4SF/GFRI/IFC, we aim at fostering comprehensive impact metrics for investors and propose a roadmap to bridge the gap and achieve convergence between firms’ and investors’ sustainability measurement and reporting frameworks.
