WHY BIODIVERSITY MATTERS

As part of our focus on delivering education for pension schemes and trustees, we’ve developed a guide on biodiversity and nature risk in partnership with the Zoological Society of London. Like climate risk, biodiversity and nature-related risks have financial consequences to pension scheme investments.

Download

In this guide, we provide the practical insight and tips to help you develop your own policy around biodiversity and nature-related risk.

Our step-by-step approach covers:

  • Insight into the current challenges of biodiversity risk
  • Defining biodiversity and why it matters
  • Explaining the key drivers of biodiversity loss
  • The risks to pension schemes
  • Practical insight for assessing biodiversity risk within your scheme
  • Questions to ask your asset manager

 

FOREWORD

"There has been a focus recently on climate change and the associated risks and opportunities it poses to pension schemes and their members. Climate related risk management and disclosure frameworks, such as the Task Force on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), and the availability of more data, have set the foundations for pension schemes to begin assessing, monitoring and acting on these risks. Regulators are also becoming more focused on these issues. For example, the Prudential Regulatory Authority (PRA) expects banks to assess their exposure to climate-related financial risks in the way they assess other risks."
