It focuses on practical actions, supported by real fund examples, that Trustees can take today. And making a difference now to nature, not just writing a report or theorizing different options. Indeed, the key messages of this report are: - start... and then do better - use qualitative techniques to identify and then manage specific risks and the uncertainities - embrace the opportunities It's five tops for Pension Funds Trustees are: 1. Deepen your understanding of nature-related risks and opportunities 2. Get started by identifying one key risk and its related opportunity 3. Manage the portfolio risks 4. Engage at both a micro- and macro-stewardship level 5. Invest in the opportunities It provides background on the current state of nature, the risk drivers and growing regulatory architecture, including short summaries of the new TNFD and 2022 Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.
