Speakers
This workshop is designed to help investors and stakeholders understand why nature and climate must be addressed in an integrated way to manage systemic risks and seize emerging opportunities. Through this session, we will explore how embedding nature considerations alongside climate strategies strengthens resilience, supports compliance, and unlocks nature-based solutions that deliver dual benefits. Participants will engage in practical exercises, scenario analysis using water as an example, and review case studies that demonstrate integrated approaches in action. By the end of the workshop, you will have actionable insights on how to incorporate nature and climate together into systemic risk management and investor reporting.
