Natural Capital Measurement Catalogue
View
Climateworks Centre launched the pilot of its Natural Capital Measurement Catalogue, a comprehensive, open-source set of measures for natural capital at the property level in Australia. Aligning with the global Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) framework, the initiative makes nature's value visible in business decision-making by measuring impacts and dependencies on ecosystems, which is crucial for assessing risks and opportunities related to nature. The project involves collaboration with partners across finance, retail, and government sectors to pilot incentives for natural capital management.
