On Wednesday 4th December, our Founder and CEO Pavan Sukhdev gave a keynote address at "Nature Data for Institutional Investors", hosted by ESG Investor. Titled "Myths and Realities", the address righted some common misconceptions at the intersection of nature and biodiversity and portfolio management. ⁉️ Myth 1: "We need much more data!" ✅ Reality: For action towards ‘Nature Positive’, businesses do not have to measure “everything, everywhere, all at once”. They should measure their biodiversity footprint using top-rated methodologies, and disclose following TNFD and other frameworks. ⁉️ Myth 2: “We (investors/investees) must track the extent and condition of ecosystems!” ✅ Reality: Corporations should be responsible for measuring their pressures on nature, much as national agencies (supported by UNEP-WCMC, IUCN, etc) are responsible for measuring the state of nature and publishing as National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs). Technology can be a powerful enabler to get high-quality NBSAPs published on time. ⁉️ Myth 3: “Proximity is the answer!” ✅ Reality: Proximity is an important part of the answer, but not the full picture. Significant indirect impacts of companies in most sectors exceed their direct impacts. ⁉️ Myth 4: “Nature Positive is all about regeneration!” ✅ Reality: Regenerating nature lost due to a company’s impacts on nature, as well as reducing the biodiversity footprint, are both valid ways for a company to become 'nature positive.' GIST Impact offers a comprehensive Climate, Nature and Biodiversity suite of solutions to empower meaningful insights and science-backed action.
