A new discussion paper, “Nature Impact Target Setting for Banks”, co-authored by UNEP FI and UNEP-WCMC, introduces a practical framework for banks to set impact targets for nature — aiming to reduce pressures and improve the state of nature across lending, investment, and underwriting activities.
The approach includes two key phases:
- Identification – Understanding nature-related pressures and dependencies across client groups,
- Target Setting & Action Planning – Collaborating with clients to define and pursue measurable impact goals.
This paper offers banks clear, actionable guidance to strengthen their role in driving a nature-positive financial system.
