Why attend

In this session, TNFD will outline the draft recommendations for a Nature Data Public Facility (NDPF), how it would operate and proposed funding arrangements. It is is designed to engage nature data technical specialists and organisations providing nature data, or interested in doing so, to business and financial institutions.

Session Description

Over the past 3 years, the TNFD has undertaken considerable work into the challenges and opportunities associated with business and finance use of nature data. New nature-related corporate reporting, target setting and transition planning requirements for companies and financial institutions are already creating demand for nature-related data. But with those demands come new requirements in terms of data quality, timeliness and accessibility presenting both challenges and opportunities to legacy providers of nature data whether public institutions, scientific institutions or new nature tech startups. Business access to high quality, interoperable, decision-useful data is key to ensuring their commitment to, and ability to delivery on, corporate reporting and accountability requirements being introduced by regulators and standards setters. In this session, TNFD and partners will highlight the outcomes from pilot testing for the concept of a Nature Data Public Facility (NDPF) first proposed at the Amazon Finance Summit in 2023.
