Biodiversity risk – further delays

Blog Thought Leadership Financial Risk & Reward, Policy, Transparency & Traceability Multi-Asset BLOG0096

The persistent delay in addressing the clear downward trend in biodiversity loss is both puzzling and disappointing. However, there are bright spots. The World Economic Forum (WEF) 19th Global Risks Report shows that environmental issues are on the risk radar of academics, businesses, governments, the international community and civil society. Although there is a belief that regulation, particularly global treaties and agreements, are the solution to both biodiversity loss/ecosystem collapse and halting a critical change to Earth systems, this year we will be able to observe whether this plays out. 2024 will see two UN COPs, one on biodiversity (COP16) an another on climate (COP29). Will they demonstrate that biodiversity loss & ecosystem collapse is a near term risk that urgently needs addressing?

Comparing three academic lifecycle assessment studies evaluating the ‘nodule-to-commodity’ climate impact of metals produced from polymetallic nodules and land ores reveals that deep sea nodules could have 28% higher or 76% lower climate impact than land ores.

A new investigation by Planet Tracker reveals that profits in the industrial Indonesian tuna sector will all but disappear due to climate change and unsustainable practices. Implementing a series of nine nature-positive measures that reduce bycatch and overexploitation while improving traceability and transparency will more than offset the negative impact of climate change on the industry’s profits.

A new investigation by Planet Tracker reveals that profits in the industrial Indonesian tuna sector will all but disappear due to climate change and unsustainable practices unless companies adopt nine nature-positive measures now. Sustainability is poor within the industrial fleets that catch tuna in Indonesia, the world’s largest producer. Climate change will make things worse: the industry will catch an estimated 25% to 31% less tuna by 2050.

While engaging extensively with suppliers and advocating for climate policies, its transition efforts are hindered by a substantial rise in Scope 3 emissions and thus an overall increase in total emissions.
