Explore the results of our second Global Survey of Nature Risk Management at Financial Firms.

Nature underpins both our economies and livelihoods. The less resilient it is, the more likely we will suffer economic and financial losses, leading to negative impacts on the real economy and financial firms. It is also critical in the fight against climate change.  

Against this backdrop, GARP undertook its second global survey of nature risk management, comprising 48 financial firms. Our 2025 survey provides valuable insights of current nature risk management practices across the financial services industry, as well as helping firms prioritize areas to improve upon along their nature risk journey.

This webcast will explore the key takeaways from the survey, including:

  • How financial firms are addressing the building blocks of good nature risk management and the progress they have made since last year. 
  • What is holding them back from making more progress; 
  • And thoughts on the future direction of nature risk management, including regulatory pressures and policy changes.
