This webinar will introduce the new “Asking Better Questions on Nature” guide for Bank Risk Committees, developed to help board members, Risk Committee members, and senior executives better understand, oversee, and respond to nature-related risks and opportunities. Through a practical governance lens, the guide presents 11 key questions addressing portfolio exposure, risk assessment, scenario analysis, client engagement, regulatory developments, organizational capabilities, and the interconnections between nature and climate risks.

Who should attend?

This session is particularly relevant for Risk Committee members, Board directors with risk oversight responsibilities, Chief Risk Officers (CROs), and senior risk management professionals. It will also be valuable for enterprise and credit risk teams, climate and environmental risk specialists, ICAAP and stress-testing professionals, sustainability leaders, regulatory affairs teams, portfolio managers, investment banking and treasury professionals, and senior bankers responsible for sectors with significant dependencies and impacts on nature.

Why join?

Participants will gain practical insights into how nature-related risks can affect bank portfolios; the information boards and Risk Committees should expect from management; and how leading financial institutions are responding to emerging supervisory, regulatory, and stakeholder expectations. The webinar will explore how nature-related considerations can be integrated into existing governance, risk management, and strategic decision-making processes. It will also highlight opportunities for banks to support client transition pathways, strengthen portfolio resilience, and develop nature-positive financing solutions.
