The International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) is currently consulting on formally aligning with the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) framework – raising the likelihood that nature-related disclosures could become mandatory in the coming years, following a similar trajectory to the Australian Sustainability Standards requirement for climate reporting.

This shift is driven by accelerating nature loss across the world. As biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and natural resource shortages climb the global risk agenda, organisations are facing growing pressure to identify and disclose their nature-related risks and opportunities.

Our latest factsheet unpacks the fundamentals of the TNFD framework, and what it means for organisations in Australia.
