The approach is aligned with LEAP and is applied across an infrastructure portfolio. Key outcomesLocation matters: Understanding nature and climate risks requires precise asset location data. GIS tools help identify local exposures and inform targeted action. Scalable solutions are essential: Tools must support both high-level portfolio insights and detailed asset analysis for due diligence, monitoring, and reporting. Nature and climate are interconnected: These impacts, dependencies, risks, and opportunities should be assessed together to align with evolving regulations and sustainability goals. Stakeholder input improves outcomes: Engaging diverse users through workshops and testing leads to more robust and actionable assessments. Easy integration is key: New insights should fit within existing workflows to save time, reduce costs, and support better decision-making.Download Case Study (Assessing Nature and Climate-related Issues in a Sustainable Infrastructure Portfolio)(This link will take you to an external website) Related resources Nature risk screening for infrastructure projects across Asia: Reflections from piloting TNFD’s LEAP approach Nature-based Insights, AECOM and Global Canopy | 2023Location: India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines (the) +4 moreLEAP Use Case This use case by AECOM, a multinational infrastructure consulting firm, explores the piloting of the TNFD’s LEAP approach across a portfolio of infrastructure projects in Asia.
