About Co-convener:
The Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) has developed a set of disclosure recommendations and guidance that encourage and enable business and finance to assess, report and act on their nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks and opportunities. By better understanding the risks and opportunities that result from their impacts and dependencies on nature, businesses and finance can take meaningful decisions to reduce risks and shift the flow of global capital towards nature-positive outcomes.
