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:

  1. Identification – Understanding nature-related pressures and dependencies across client groups,
  2. 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.
