Insights

There is growing recognition that financial returns depend on valuing all the capitals. Sustainable nature-related finance mechanisms like nature asset classes, investment strategies and disclosure standards are gaining momentum. Now we want to build scale to incentivize the market towards even more nature related finance.

In this session we will apply what we know about nature as an entry point for the accelerated uptake of managing systemic risk across all capitals: natural, social, human and produced. We will discuss what the barriers to scale and how to take advantage of the opportunities to invest in all capitals. While smart companies and investors are already starting to embed nature risk into decision-making, the potential to value and invest in the full opportunity of all capitals is the next frontier in capital markets.

This interactive session brings together leaders from across the financial system, from insurance, banking and asset-management, alongside financial regulators and policymakers.
Hear about ground-breaking innovations that use capitals valuation to direct the capital markets towards resilient regenerative outcomes. Discuss how confidence in capitals valuation can unlock financial flows towards what matters most. Collaborate on solutions and opportunities to incentivize market action at pace and scale.
