Published by the GFFN’s Metrics Catalyst Group, this brief outlines the crucial role of nature metrics in the world of finance, specifically for assessing the impacts and dependencies of food systems on nature.

Given the diversity of Nature metrics, which encompass climate metrics and the inherently more complex aspect of accounting for biodiversity, a standardized approach is unlikely. To address the rapidly evolving landscape, this brief aims to deliver a high-level overview, emphasizing current trends and offering general recommendations, along with illustrative examples of methods employed by financial institutions to manage physical, transition, and systemic risks in agricultural financing.

This brief concludes a three-part series from the Metrics Group. To read the other briefs, please click here.
