Home » NewsTNFD launches next global adoption campaign ahead of COP30 in Belém Date Posted 10th March 2025 London, UK, 10 March 2025 The Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) today announced a global adoption campaign in the lead up to COP30 in Belém, Brazil, in November 2025. The announcement was made by David Craig, Co-Chair of the TNFD, at the Sustainable Markets Initiative Terra Carta Roundtables & Exhibition in London during the panel “Nature as a strategic ally for business and finance”. The session explored how the TNFD recommendations and guidance are helping organisations unlock resilience and value creation opportunities. At COP16 in Colombia in October 2024, the TNFD announced that the total number of companies and financial institutions committed to getting started with voluntary reporting of their nature-related issues in line with the TNFD recommendations is above 500. Drawn from 54 countries or areas (including 25 emerging markets) and across 62 of 77 SASB SICS sectors, the publicly-listed companies represent over USD 6.5 trillion in market capitalisation. 129 financial institutions are now registered as TNFD Adopters, representing USD 17.7 trillion in assets under management, including 25% of the world’s systemically important banks (GSIBs). The full list of TNFD Adopters can be viewed here. With the conclusion of the 2024 calendar year and the commencement of this campaign, the TNFD is adding a new financial year (FY2026) for which companies can indicate their timeline for getting started. The global adoption campaign will run through to COP30 in November, at which the TNFD will formally announce all of the new adopters since the CBD nature COP16 at Cali, Colombia, last year. The TNFD’s approach to assessment and disclosure is fully aligned to the goals and targets of the Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) and operationalises the specific requirements of Target 15 of the GBF, which calls on governments to introduce requirements by 2030 for corporate reporting of nature-related dependencies, impacts and risks. With over 1,700 organisations now members of the TNFD Forum, 20 national or regional Consultation Groups established around the world and over 530 TNFD Adopters as of March 2025, the Taskforce has seen significant demand for practical skills and capability-building support across markets and sectors. Last month, TNFD launched its new capacity-building platform to support market participants and training providers in building confidence and capabilities on nature-related issues. Available in the Knowledge Hub, the TNFD Learning Lab is a self-guided learning platform for individuals and the TNFD Trainer Portal is a suite of adaptable training materials for educators and trainers. David Craig, Co-Chair of the TNFD: “Business and finance leaders are increasingly recognising that the resilience of their business and investment returns depends on the resilience of nature. By catalysing a shift in mindset, behaviour and public reporting, TNFD is helping organisations bring nature onto the balance sheet and into their risk and opportunity assessment. And that same shift is bringing to light a wealth of investment opportunities that align with a nature-positive future – one in which both nature and business are working in harmony.” On 2 April 2025 at 9am BST, the TNFD will host a global adoption webinar, Committing to nature: Why become a TNFD Adopter?

ABOUT THE TASKFORCE ON NATURE-RELATED FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES (TNFD) The Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) is a market-led, science-based taskforce of business and finance leaders providing companies and financial institutions with recommendations and guidance about how to incorporate nature beyond climate into their decision making. The TNFD recommendations build on the approach and recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), are consistent with market disclosure standards developed by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) and Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and play an important role in enabling private sector contributions to the goals and targets of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. Through better informed decision making around governance, strategy, risk management and capital allocation, the TNFD contributes to the global goal of shifting the flow of capital away from nature-negative outcomes and towards nature-positive outcomes for the planet and society. Since its launch in 2021 with the support of the G20 economies, the TNFD has built a global movement of action among market participants. Over 1,600 organisations support the work of the TNFD, including over 500 organisations representing over USD 17 trillion in assets under management (AUM) now committed to reporting their nature-related issues aligned with the TNFD recommendations published in September 2023.
