Titled “Investors can assess nature now”, or ICANN, the guide focuses specifically on freshwater and forests, two areas FSI views as fundamental to both the global economy and the fight against climate change.
Sydney-headquartered investment manager First Sentier Investors (FSI) has launched a guide for institutional investors to identify, assess and respond to nature and biodiversity risks like freshwater and agriculture-driven deforestation.
Released on Sept 7, FSI’s guide comes ahead of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures’ (TNFD) final recommendations and guidance, which will be released on Sept 18 at the New York Climate Week.
