Through case studies of financial institutions and corporates, it identifies dependencies across semiconductor manufacturing and data centres, offering strategies to manage nature-related risks and opportunities.

This study of 832 euro area banks indicates that lenders are increasingly factoring pollution-induced biodiversity risks into their decisions. Banks primarily mitigate these exposures by lowering loan-to-value ratios, particularly for companies operating near protected areas or those linked to water quality failures. This trend reflects growing regulatory and financial awareness.

This exploratory study analyses how ten major Australian real estate companies disclose and manage nature-related financial risks.
