This UNEP FI policy brief examines how nature-related considerations are being incorporated into banking-relevant regulation across the two major economic and financial systems of China and the European Union.

The publication provides a comparative overview of developments across China and the European Union, focusing on three interconnected areas: environmental policy context, corporate regulation and market frameworks, and prudential regulation and supervision.

The brief aims to help financial sector practitioners and policymakers understand how nature-related considerations are being incorporated into banking-relevant regulation in China and the EU, within a rapidly evolving global landscape.
