Hear from Sebastian Leape, CEO of Natcap, as we explore how regulation such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is pushing nature risk to the top of firms’ sustainability agendas.

At GARP, we’ve been benchmarking financial firms’ climate and nature risk management capabilities since 2019, and we see that nature is lagging climate risk by several years. But things are changing, and part of that change is driven by new regulations – such as the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive or CSRD – where firms are being asked to report on a range of sustainability issues in a lot more depth than they’re used to.

Given the complexity, this episode provides a deep dive into some of the challenges facing firms. We discuss:

Why nature is lagging climate in both understanding and action;
The key emerging nature-related regulations and how they fit together; and
Some useful ways for firms to begin tackling these issues.
