Understanding nature-related risks and opportunities is critical if the investment community is to take action to minimise the negative impacts to nature. To drive progress in this area, Responsible Investment Association Australasia (RIAA) is launching a Nature Investor toolkit online on Wednesday 16 October 2024 (12-1pm AEDT/ 2-3pm NZDT). With practical actions and case studies, the toolkit is an important resource and guide for investors. Joanne Lee, CFA, Responsible Investment Director, wrote a section in the toolkit and will join other toolkit contributors and experts from the Australian and Aotearoa New Zealand investment community sharing key insights from the toolkit in the webinar. The session will provide an investment lens to approaching nature-related risks and opportunities and facilitate ideas that will guide investors’ own approaches.
