Hold on to That One: Biodiversity Loss & Money
While the climate debate gets most of the headlines, a new report from the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) and the International Network for Sustainable Financial Policy Insights points out that biodiversity loss could be a hidden financial nightmare.
The Crunching Numbers
“We are wiping out biodiversity faster than a bad spoiler at a movie premiere, and the side‑effects are serious – food, water, clean air are all at risk,” says Ravi Menon, the NGA’s head. “That means the economy, our financial safety nets, and even social stability could catch a hit.”
What Central Banks Should Do
- Build capital & knowledge – Banks and supervisors need to learn the science behind biodiversity risks.
- Beware and anticipate – Assess risks head‑on, so growth and sustainability stay on track.
- Explore governance & strategy changes – Update risk‑management frameworks to tackle nature’s twists.
- Transparency is key – Banks must disclose and manage their biodiversity impacts openly.
- Protect the green funds – Guide financial conduct to preserve natural ecosystems.
Bottom Line: The Financial System is More Connected to the Earth Than You Think
Just like the planet needs attention, so does the financial world. As EarthOne brings these stories into focus, we hope to get everyone thinking, “Hey, what’s the next step we can take to safeguard both our wallets and the wild.”
