Thank you for the invitation to join the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) webinar today with Sarah Barker, Managing Director, Pollination Law, and Cynthia Williams, Executive Director, Commonwealth Climate and Law Initiative (CCLI)—brilliantly moderated by Tony Goldner, Executive Director, and Candice Dott, Director of Market Engagement at #TNFD. We discussed #Boards and #Nature - and the evolving landscape for director's duties. So much important insight was shared, and I urge all to look at the TNFDs website for all the very helpful material https://tnfd.global/ It is the time to prepare for #Climate and #Nature governance! With the evolving landscape for directors' climate and nature duties and disclosure regulations pending worldwide, this is a critical time for board directors and senior executives. At stake is not only their and their company’s reputation and future; it is much more, and climate and nature competency is now a necessity, not an option. I'm grateful for the board members and business experts supporting the Competent Boards Climate & Nature Designation (CCB.D) and Certification program, which aims to give directors and senior business leaders the tools to understand, assess, and mitigate #climate—and #nature-related risks—and act on opportunities before it is too late. The program provides a unique opportunity to engage live with a global cohort of peers and have live discussions with leaders such as:  Agnes K Y Tai, PhD 戴洁莹,  Pia Heidenmark Cook,  Peter J. Hall,  Simon Henzell-Thomas (he/his),  Vicky Sins, and  R. Andreas Kraemer 孔 安德. and learn from even more leaders, such as David Craig, Co-Chair of #TNFD, #JohanRockström and many more. The next cohort starts on October 3rd:  https://lnkd.in/gqfJQenU #CompetentBoardsMovement #ClimateRisk #SustainabilityLeadership #CorporateGovernance #TheFutureBoardroom #Stewardship #StewardsoftheFuture #sustainability #FutureReady

What do One Hundred Years of Solitude, A Tale of Two Cities, Wuthering Heights and Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone all have in common?  They are all shorter than the average FTSE 100 annual report and accounts for 2021/22. With the level of annual disclosures at an all-time high, in our recent article, "Seeing the wood for the trees" we ask whether investors are being provided with decision-useful information or being bombarded with boilerplate.
