Andrew. A part Solution. The demand of the United Kingdom to replenish and in new planting 60 million native broadleaf tree stocks on an annual basis to Net Zero 2050. COP. Jersey, post Brexit, and within the British Isles has the excellence in Horticulture, rotation fields cultivated by the might of its 2nd most important Industry, Jersey Royal Producers. COP. Who supports the 4 years of Seed to tree production? COP. Jersey’s Global Triust & Finance Industry in ESG SDG. Funding the green Seed through the required nursery years. Who do they gift their tailored tree stocks? The United Kingdom. The Seed required to grow 1 million Native Broadleaf Trees is collected from the provenance of region, forwarded to the UKs natural nursery of Ci, sown into the unique natural seedbeds of The Golden Mile, then years 2/3/4 grown on in the rotated, “ Terra Carta”, cultivated fields of an Islands greatest natural asset. Keep Jersey Farming. Creating a Virtuous Green Circle - Net Zero 2050.
Two big developments to tell you : 1) The Scale of Nature Risk in the UK's & 2) the next global standard to be issued by the ISSB. The Green Finance institute released a ground-breaking study today on potential nature risk impacts to the UK economy. It shows that within a decade Britain’s GDP could decline by 12%, that’s 20 times bigger than the UK's entire agricultural sector. Nature risk is Big, possibly bigger than climate & will affect many sectors. But there this is opportunity, globally the big nature turn around noted in UNEP's State of Finance for Nature Report, could realign $7 trillion of nature-negative public & private finance currently driving nature’s decline. Central Banks will need to take serious account of the scenarios offered in GFI's research or nature’s risk will surface unexpectedly & chomp away at our resilience. Banks need to look at how their lending can incentivise towards sustainability & a future nature positive economy. #naturepositive #climate #sustainablefinance The GFI Report is now live: https://lnkd.in/eajFh6Ua See what Bloomberg says here: https://lnkd.in/e9pnJdEc & the Guardian here: https://lnkd.in/e4BQafRt The 2nd big event is the decision by the International Sustainability Standards Board, the global standard setting body for 130 countries. They have announced they will begin researching the 1/3rd of their global standards with a nature focus. This follows their earlier standards, IFRS S1, that provides a set of disclosure requirements designed to enable companies to communicate to investors on sustainability-related risks & opportunities they face over the short, medium & long term and, IFRS S2, that sets out specific climate-related disclosures & is designed to be used with IFRS S1. I am delighted that they will consider the TNFD reporting & disclosure framework in designing their new nature standard. The TNFD team has also supported implementation of the European CSRD regulations & the recently updated GRI Biodiversity 101 standard. These elements help to create a toolbox for Governments & the finance sector to meet the targets of the CBD's Global Biodiversity Framework. The initial statement from the ISSB can be found here: https://lnkd.in/eXgPj6tA #tnfd #finance For a transition to a nature positive economy we need to understand the scale of risk, establish regulations, guides & invest in opportunity. Standby for a new "opportunity taxonomy" for nature that I am crafting with friends that will appear at COP16 & early next year in a Little Book of Nature Business!
