The climate crisis is twinned with a biodiversity crisis, which creates and magnifies financial and economic risks. This research offers financial institutions an overview of key biodiversity issues. The paper examines the growing policy and regulatory engagements in this area, and how biodiversity and nature-related risks intersect with climate and other risks, as well as emerging efforts to include these in climate scenarios. The paper provides an overview of:

• Nature in crisis
• Biodiversity and nature-related risks as financial and economic risks 
• Growing regulation: Kunming-Montreal 2022 Global Biodiversity Framework, TNFD and beyond
• Intersectionalities: Climate change and beyond
• Biodiversity: health and longevity
• Opportunities in nature and nature-based solutions
• Integrating biodiversity into climate and sustainability scenarios
• Embedded in nature: the risks of inaction and the benefits of action
