Ever thought about the true value of your simple walks in nature? This opinion piece highlights how our wellbeing, nature’s beauty, and acts of kindness often go unmeasured in economic terms. Let’s rethink what prosperity truly means.
The UN Food Systems Summit +2 Stocktaking Moment (UNFSS+2) in Rome last week took stock of the current status of the global food system and aimed at generating further momentum on action for food systems transformation in support of Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. What should financial institutions and corporates take away from UNFSS+2?
By the end of 2023, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) will issue a consultation paper on climate-related disclosure requirements that it intends to add to international standards for capital requirements.

Analysis from Planet Tracker finds diversifying farmed seafood production can close supply gap while tackling biodiversity risks.
Planet Tracker’s interactive dashboard allows you to discover how concentrated seafood production is within a country, and how concentrated seafood production is by species, covering more than 200 countries and more than 600 species from 1950 to 2020. The dashboard also allows a comparison between aquaculture production and wild-catch fishing.

To have any hope of limiting climate heating to 1.50C: stopping deforestation and cutting methane emissions by 45% before 2030 are essential to meet our interlinked climate, nature and development goals and significantly reduce the food system’s GhG footprint. Transforming the energy system alone will not be sufficient.
Unfortunately, many financial institutions have been ignoring the problems of deforestation and methane emissions for far too long. 61% of financial institutions covered by Global Canopy’s latest Forest 500 survey do not have any policies to tackle deforestation in their lending or investment portfolios. With only seven years left to achieve these targets, action must be taken now.
To promote greater transparency across the USD 1.8 trillion seafood supply chain – and to consolidate different data sources into one place where they can be examined in context – Planet Tracker has created an interactive Seafood Database, which enables users to filter through companies and compare their exposure to overfishing, illegal fishing and blue sustainability risks.
