In this this first masterclass of two, we will explore the importance of nature to the built environment. We’ll discuss the crisis in nature, and our reliance on natural systems not only for materials, but also for human and economic prosperity. We’ll also look at the drivers for reporting on nature and what nature-disclosure is.
This session is part one of a two-part series. In our second masterclass we’ll look at the practicalities of how to effectively disclose business impacts on nature through frameworks such as TNFD. That masterclass is available here.
