About TNFD
The Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) is a market-led, science-based and government-backed initiative providing organisations with the tools to act on evolving nature-related issues. It was launched in June 2021 with the support of the G20 Sustainable Finance Working Group and financial support from a number of governments and philanthropic foundations.
In September 2023, the TNFD published a set of disclosure recommendations and guidance that encourage and enable business and finance to assess, report and act on their nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks and opportunities.
The TNFD recommendations now operationalise Target 15 of the Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) agreed to by over 190 governments at the CBD COP15 in Montreal in 2022 and enable businesses and finance to integrate nature into their governance, strategy, risk management and capital allocation decision making. The goal of the Taskforce is to support a shift in global financial flows away from nature-negative outcomes and toward nature-positive outcomes, aligned with the Global Biodiversity Framework.
With the recommendations released, the Taskforce is now focusing its efforts on encouraging and supporting voluntary market adoption and supporting efforts to address the implementation, capability building and data needs of market participants.
The Taskforce is comprised of 40 senior executives drawn from leading financial institutions, corporates and market service providers from around the world and across sectors, with combined assets of over US$20 trillion. Twenty core knowledge partners from leading science, standards, and data institutions feed into the work of the Taskforce. A group of over 1,600 organisations support the work of the Taskforce as institutional members of the TNFD Forum. Over 440 organisations globally have now committed to start reporting on their nature-related issues aligned to the recommendations of the TNFD.
