The Value of Nature: Biodiversity, stewardship, and thematic engagement in a connected financial landscape

The Stockholm Resilience Centre states that the global economy currently operates outside the safe zones for six of the nine planetary boundaries, and ecosystem services are not adequately valued by global markets.

As a result, there are growing expectations from governments, investors and society at large that the private sector will take responsibility for its contributions to biodiversity loss.

How can investors properly assess the risks to their portfolios arising from biodiversity loss, such as deforestation and species extinction, and commit to managing these risks and benefiting from opportunities through effective management?
Experts from Morningstar Sustainalytics and institutional investors will explain in this wabinary:
• What is biodiversity and how does it connect to climate and human rights?
• What are the financial risks associated with biodiversity and nature-related loss?
• How and why management can lead to better investment results.
• A real-world example of how this works in practice.

Speakers:
– Lindsey Stewart (moderator), Director of Investment Management Research
– Ruby Jeng, Senior Analyst, Management, Morningstar Sustainalytics
– Dr. Dai Yamawaki, Senior Manager of ESG Investments, Nomura Asset Management
– Rebecca Dreyfus, Active Property Specialist, NN Group
