The NATURE-INSURE programme equips insurance supervisors to better understand and manage nature-related risks. The series explores how nature loss impacts insurance markets, introduces practical tools such as the TNFD’s LEAP approach, and highlights how supervisors and insurers are applying nature tools, data and metrics in real-world settings. Topics include global disclosure frameworks and emerging supervisory practices from around the world.
Marcos Neto, UN Assistant Secretary-General and Director of UNDP’s Bureau for Policy and Programme Support, said: “The NATURE-INSURE programme couldn’t be more timely. The financial sector, and especially insurance, must be equipped to recognise and act on the material risks and opportunities tied to nature. Through this initiative, we’re empowering supervisors to guide the sector toward long-term sustainability, in alignment with the Global Biodiversity Framework and the SDGs.”
Daniel Wang, SIF Chair and Executive Director for Insurance at the Monetary Authority of Singapore, added: “NATURE-INSURE reflects SIF’s commitment to advancing supervisory readiness in the face of complex environmental challenges. This programme will foster shared learning, create greater awareness about international biodiversity and sustainability goals, and support the management of nature-related risks in insurance supervision.”
Candice Dott, Director of Market Engagement at TNFD, noted: “Embedding nature in financial decision-making starts with awareness and capacity building. NATURE-INSURE will help supervisors navigate the evolving reporting landscape, apply TNFD’s LEAP approach, and drive impact across the insurance value chain.”
