Nature capital is the missing piece in the transition to net zero, as climate change and nature loss are interdependent.

In October 2023, 1500 global finance professionals gathered at Geneva’s Building Bridges (BB) event together with the Swiss public authorities, the UN and other global partners. The focus was on accelerating the transition to a global economic model aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and fostering change in the real economy.

The ‘action days’ of the event entailed 70 plenary and workshop sessions, which saw the launch of the Swiss Stewardship Code and the full nature disclosure recommendations for Switzerland from the Taskforce for Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD).

This blog highlights some of the key takeaways on the next steps in the nature disclosure journey for Switzerland and the never-ending greenwashing debate as well as the importance of transition financing and the why, what and how of transformative leadership.
