Global Canopy welcomes new TNFD Taskforce Members and Forum

As one of the four founding partners of the TNFD, Global Canopy welcomes the announcement of the new Taskforce Members representing 14 countries across five continents

The Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) today appoints 30 senior executives from financial institutions, corporates and market service providers as Taskforce Members, as well as more than 100 institutions to the consultative TNFD Forum.

“Global Canopy has been deeply involved with TNFD since day one, so it’s both exciting and encouraging to see such extensive market-led expertise across nature and finance come together through the new Taskforce Members, and the growing TNFD Forum of over 100 organisations. Improving data and transparency on nature-related risks is vital to tackle the intertwined crises of nature and climate, and for people everywhere. We must urgently shift the global system of trade and finance away from nature destruction and towards nature-positive activities. The TNFD beta framework that will be ready for testing from early 2022 will be an important step towards that goal.”

Niki Mardas, Executive Director of Global Canopy

Looking ahead

Over the next two years, Global Canopy will continue to support the market-led TNFD, until the final TNFD framework is launched in 2023. As a founding partner, Global Canopy will be a member of the TNFD’s Stewardship Council, alongside the other founding partners – UNDP, UNEP FI and WWF – and representatives from major donors to TNFD, as well as select international organisations or networks, such as relevant financial regulators or standard-setters.
