PRB Sector Action Guidance for Nature: Getting Started in the Agricultural, Forestry, and Mining Sectors

The nature crisis is a growing global challenge, and the banking industry has a critical role to play in addressing it. Join us on October 21st for the launch of the PRB Nature Sector Action Guidance, a comprehensive framework aimed at helping banks to take actions aligned with the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). Developed in partnership with The Biodiversity Consultancy, this guidance focuses on actionable steps for banks to integrate nature into their core practices, particularly in high-impact sectors like mining, agriculture, and forestry. It also highlights how banks can support their clients in taking priority actions that directly address nature loss, contributing to the $700 billion annual biodiversity financing gap. This guidance provides sector-specific insights on key commodities—such as bauxite, copper, cattle, wood, and soy—detailing both the actions and nature-related impacts banks should consider in their client dialogues. Through the use of real-world examples and practical recommendations, the PRB Nature Sector Action Guidance empowers banks to take immediate, informed action and support a nature-positive future. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how your institution can contribute to halting and reversing nature loss. Speakers include: • Grant Rudgley, Technical Director, Nature Finance, The Biodiversity Consultancy • Jessica Smith, Nature Lead, UNEP FI • Oualid Rokneddine, Banking & Nature Manager, UNEP FI
