Feedback survey on the assessment and disclosure of ocean nature-related issues

Overview

The TNFD recognises that additional considerations are required when measuring nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks and opportunities in the ocean realm (ocean-related issues) as the basis for corporate assessments and disclosures. We are undertaking a consultation on assessment and disclosure of ocean-related issues with market participants and other interested stakeholders.

We have published this discussion paper on the measurement of ocean-related issues and launched this consultation survey with three objectives:

  • To gather feedback on coverage of ocean nature-related issues in the TNFD’s guidance and how it can be improved;
  • To identify case studies of ocean nature-related issues and use cases of assessment and disclosure of these issues by corporates and financial institutions; and
  • To identify priorities for the market to improve the coverage, quality, consistency and comparability of measurement of ocean nature-related issues in assessments and disclosures by corporates and financial institutions, as well as the availability, relevance, timeliness, quality and coverage of the underlying datasets.

The Taskforce welcomes feedback until 1 October 2025. The TNFD will review all feedback and will consider it in potential updates to its additional guidance and case study library in 2026.

Key focus area

  • Identification and assessment of ocean nature-related issues.
  • Ocean-related metrics, guidance, tools and datasets.
  • Challenges measuring ocean-related issues.

Key outcomes

  • Provide feedback on how ocean-related issues are covered within the TNFD recommendations and additional guidance, including the TNFD metrics architecture and the LEAP approach.
  • Gain insights into the guidance, tools and datasets that currently exist for measuring ocean-related issues.
  • Shape the direction of future work by the TNFD on the ocean-related issues.
