Webinar - Circular solutions to achieve nature targets in banking

Organiser: UN Environment Programme, Finance Initiative (UNEP FI)

Nature loss is increasingly recognized as a material risk for banks, with implications for the resilience of clients, portfolios and the wider economy. As banks work to implement their nature-related commitments under the Principles for Responsible Banking (PRB) and align with the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, many continue to face a key challenge: translating targets into practical action.

This webinar will mark the launch of UNEP FI’s new Circular Solutions to Achieve Nature Targets guidance, the latest publication in the Circular Economy as an Enabler for Responsible Banking series. The session will introduce a practical framework to help banks operationalize their nature commitments, structured around three ecosystem categories: ocean and marine, freshwater, and terrestrial and land-based ecosystems.

Participants will gain insights into how circular economy approaches can help banks address the root causes of biodiversity loss, mitigate nature-related risks, and unlock new financing opportunities across sectors and value chains. The webinar will also explore priority circular solutions, relevant sectors, and practical actions that banks can take through their policies, portfolios, client engagement and partnerships to contribute to nature-positive outcomes.
