Our economies rely on the goods and services generated by nature like food, raw materials, pollination, water filtration and climate regulation, but nature and our planet are under unprecedented threat.
Financial investments are causing harmful environmental impacts which are delaying the transition to a sustainable economy. This won't be resolved unless both climate change and biodiversity loss are tackled together.
Central banks, financial supervisors and regulators whose responsibility it is to protect the economy and secure a stable financial system, play a crucial role in reversing this trend.
WWF´s Greening Financial Regulation Initiative began in 2020 bringing together a broad network of environmental scientists and finance practitioners to support the transition to a nature positive, net zero economy.
We help provide the necessary tools, scientific research, assessments, training and assistance to enhance the ambitions of the financial sector on the sustainable financial policy agenda. Find out more about our SUSREG Tracker online tool, trainings for central banks, financial supervisors and regulators visiting our e-learning page and WWF&NGFS webinar sessions.

The time intervals depicted in the infograph above are focused on near term priorities. Nevertheless it is essential for financial actors to do regular continuous target setting in 5-yearly (ideally shorter) time intervals, and annual progress reporting against these targets.
Nature-positive refers to the WWF and WEF definitions, indicating that there needs to be more nature in 2030 than in 2020, that at least 30 % of land and oceans are protected, the footprint of our production and consumption is halved by 2030, and that there cannot be any offsetting.
