It’s not difficult to see how species extinction increases systemic risk. More than half of the world’s GDP comes from industries that are highly or moderately dependant on nature. Nature is essential to the financial stability and economic resilience of all markets. Nature is the foundation for key commodities and industries, such as forestry and tourism.
The bumblebee is a perfect example of how the wellbeing of a single species is fundamentally important to society. These unsung heroes of agriculture are thought to be responsible for directly or indirectly pollinating a third of the plants and plant products that we consume.
Businesses rely on such ecosystem services and measuring nature-related risks and dependencies across assets, companies, supply chains, and investment portfolios is of critical importance.
Join us for a webinar this May where Ogier Sustainable Investment Consulting will discuss:
