This report examines how the Dutch Fund for Climate and Development (DFCD) Origination Facility integrates biodiversity into climate finance. Through diverse case studies, it highlights pathways for private investment, the necessity of landscape-level perspectives, and the role of technical assistance in making nature-positive business models bankable.

This report examines the systemic threats posed by lethal humidity, where extreme heat and moisture exceed human physiological limits. Focusing on historical cases and Indonesia, it details cascading impacts on health, energy, and agriculture. It calls for urgent emissions reductions and improved global cooling strategies to mitigate escalating climate risks.

This guide helps financial institutions assess portfolio exposure and engage with companies on digital sequence information (DSI). It outlines regulatory risks, including the Cali Fund and benefit-sharing under the UN Convention on Biological Diversity, while providing practical tools for investor engagement across the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors.

This concept brief proposes a new network to embed nature into transition planning. Highlighting that over $58 trillion of GDP depends on nature, it outlines a collaborative model to build evidence, enable implementation, and shape policy. The network aims to accelerate credible, nature-positive, and climate-resilient economic transitions.

This benchmark series examines economic growth and development across the East Asia and Pacific region. It explores the impact of artificial intelligence on industrial sectors and supply chains, alongside the challenges posed by energy costs and environmental factors for small states and emerging market economies.

The DEFT Pathway is a framework developed by Global Canopy and Profundo to help financial institutions categorise and assess corporate progress in eliminating deforestation and ecosystem conversion.

The Climate Shift Index: Ocean is an interactive global map by Climate Central that quantifies the influence of climate change on daily sea surface temperatures, assisting in the assessment of marine-related physical risks.

The Adaptation Inventory is a global repository of evidence-based climate resilience policies and programmes developed by the Climate Impact Lab to support scalable adaptation solutions.

This research evaluates Climate Action 100+’s impact on corporate climate action using a Difference-in-Differences analysis. It finds no evidence of improved disclosure or historical emission reductions. While the coalition influenced long-term targets for specific companies, the absence of short-term milestones suggests potential decarbonisation backloading and greenwashing risks.

INDRA is an AI-powered platform for searching and analysing extensive archives of internal tobacco, fossil fuel, and chemical industry documents to trace corporate influence and liability.

This research examines the legal principles for holding banks accountable for climate breakdown. It evaluates shifting causation standards from 'but-for' to 'material contribution', explores quantification methodologies like PCAF, and analyses strategic litigation. The report highlights banks' transition from passive intermediaries to active contributors responsible for financing global emissions.

This European Environment Agency report outlines the transformation required to achieve a sustainable EU energy system by 2030. It prioritises renewables-based electrification, flexibility, and energy efficiency across electricity, heating, and transport subsystems to enhance competitiveness, security, and progress towards 2050 climate neutrality goals.

The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework is a historic international agreement featuring 23 targets for 2030 to halt biodiversity loss. It provides the global benchmark for nature-related goals, risk assessment, and financial resource mobilisation essential for finance professionals.

A resource from Climate Policy Initiative designed to help financial institutions track progress and assess the quality of adaptation and resilience finance while managing physical climate risks.

This report introduces Systemically Important Natural Systems (SINS), analogous to systemically important banks. It argues that critical ecosystems are macro-critical infrastructure. The authors explore how formal SINS designation could embed nature-related risks into global financial governance, fiscal policy, and corporate decision-making to prevent systemic economic instability.

Developed by British International Investment, this toolkit helps financial institutions in emerging markets embed climate risk management into governance, lending, and portfolio monitoring in alignment with TCFD standards.
