To help readers examine the measured risk as perceived by corporates, we developed a dashboard which allows users to filter by the segment or theme of disclosure.

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. We urge the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision to be more ambitious and incorporate broader nature risks, not only climate risk, in their upcoming consultation.

An analysis of German multinational chemicals company, BASF, in July 2023 found that the company was failing to meet its stated climate goals of Net Zero emissions by 2050 and was instead relying on unproven future technologies.

BASF remains wildly off-target from its climate goals, relying on unproven future technologies such as carbon capture and storage to help meet targets. The chemical giant’s current emissions trajectory is on track for a +3 °C climate scenario by 2030, according to Planet Tracker data.

Procter & Gamble’s emissions are projected to follow a business-as-usual (BAU) trajectory, resulting in a +3°C warming scenario by 2030. The primary reason for not meeting the emissions level recommended by the Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) for a 1.5°C alignment is P&G’s failure to address upstream Scope 3 emissions. While P&G’s Climate Transition Plan (CTP) outlines various initiatives to reduce its environmental impact, the absence of investment disclosure regarding mitigation activities creates uncertainties regarding the company’s ambition.

Nestlé improves climate mitigation investment disclosures while the ISSB proposes that these should be made mandatory. Planet Tracker fully supports this.

At the same time billions are being invested in AI, billions are divested away from the intelligence found in nature, on which our economies and societies rely. This blog argues that the risk-reward of this ‘buy AI, sell nature’ approach is a poor trade to make: AI is convenient, but costly and risky, whilst nature is essential, freely available and harmless. Now is the time to close the short: read on to discover twenty practical ways to invest in nature.
