TNFD 101: Assessing nature-related issues – Introduction to the TNFD LEAP Approach

This webinar provided guidance on the integrated approach that TNFD has developed for the identification and assessment of nature-related issues, called the LEAP approach.

This approach aims to help organisations conduct the due diligence necessary to inform disclosure statements aligned with the TNFD recommendations, but it is also useful for other organisations looking to identify and assess their nature-related issues, regardless of their formal disclosure requirements.
