Putting Nature on the Balance Sheet
About this Event
The Accountability Accelerator, Capitals Coalition, and Landbanking Group are co-hosting a workshop dedicated to integrating nature into financial accounting. This session will delve into the increasing financial risks stemming from nature’s decline and explore the concept of “putting nature on the balance sheet”.
The workshop aims to clarify this concept, identify the necessary systemic changes required to link natural and financial capital, and illustrate these ideas with real-world examples. A diverse group of participants, including financial institutions, standard setters, accountants, regulators, finance NGOs, and natural capital pioneers, will be present.
The overarching goal is to foster a shared understanding of how to embed nature into financial decision-making and to generate concrete inputs for future roadmaps, with a focus on the COP30 objectives.
The session will commence with a series of presentations that outline the roadmap and key actions needed to achieve the goal of putting nature on the balance sheet. During these presentations, speakers will discuss specific actions relevant to each stakeholder group, providing an overview of the main conceptual frameworks and necessary developments. Following these presentations, breakout sessions will be held among stakeholder groups, allowing for detailed discussions on practical solutions to implement the required actions within the roadmap.
Session outcomes:
A shared understanding among participants of the steps needed to embed nature into financial accounting and decision-making;
Concrete inputs to ongoing roadmap work, including key enablers and barriers to address in the lead-up to COP30;
New relationships and collaborative opportunities across finance, policy, and nature-focused actors;
Commitments or interest in co-developing or supporting additional proof points and pilot initiatives that value and protect nature.
