The Natural Capital Declaration

The Natural Capital Declaration (NCD) is a global finance-led initiative to integrate natural capital considerations into financial products and services, and to work towards their inclusion in financial accounting, disclosure and reporting. It is signed by the CEOs of 40 financial institutions, which are actively working with supporting (non-financial) organisations to develop methods to implement the four commitments in the Declaration. This is being done through a steering committee of signatories and supporters and four working groups, supported by a secretariat formed of the UNEP Finance Initiative and the Global Canopy Programme (GCP). The NCD is developing a range of tools to facilitate integration of natural capital factors into financial products and services and strengthen management of natural resource and environment-related risks and opportunities.For more information visit www.naturalcapitaldeclaration.org
