The training course in detail

Overall theme and context

In a world increasingly aware of environmental challenges and the decline in biodiversity, the 16th United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity 2024 in Colombia is a special opportunity for signatory countries to demonstrate their commitment to these issues by presenting their strategies and action plans to address them.

The decline in biodiversity poses a threat not only to human lives, but also to the global economy and financial stability.

In the face of these challenges, public and private players are getting involved by taking initiatives to preserve nature and biodiversity.

European and French regulations also provide a framework for taking into account the financial risks associated with the loss of biodiversity and, more broadly, with nature, in the corporate governance and risk management of financial institutions.

The aim of this Mini-Mooc is to provide keys to understanding the financial risks associated with nature.
