Based on growing interest from members in understanding nature-related risks and opportunities, the Coalition added Nature as a separate workstream in its 2023 work program.
The Nature working group made significant progress last year – including issuing flagship report Overview of Nature-Related Risks and Potential Policy Actions for Ministries of Finance: Bending The Curve of Nature Loss and taking part for the first time in the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in the COP15.
To restart the Nature work in 2023, the members requested an update on who is doing what on Nature. Therefore, this workshop showcased the latest work by leading Institutional Partners of the Coalition’s Nature workstream.
