This paper analyzes existing approaches and data platforms for assessing nature-related financial risk in the East Asia and Pacific region. It examines the current level of disclosure by companies and discusses how companies and financial institutions can assess their impact on nature. The analysis explores specific data related to East Asia and Pacific countries and compares sustainability disclosure standards and nature-related risk assessments in various countries. Finally, it summarizes the key findings and suggests areas for future improvement, proposing that financial regulators could enhance the availability of nature-related data, develop material indicators and metrics, and institute sustainability reporting requirements for financial institutions and corporations.
