## Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures

The TNFD is a global initiative that provides a framework for organisations to report and act on nature-related risks and opportunities. Inspired by the [TCFD](https://lemu-web.prie.to/docs/alphabet/tcfd/) (Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures), it helps businesses and financial institutions integrate nature into decision-making by identifying dependencies, impacts, risks, and opportunities linked to biodiversity and ecosystems. Its ultimate goal is to shift global financial flows toward nature-positive outcomes.

### Relationship to Lemu

Lemu is a [TNFD Forum Member](https://lemu-web.prie.to/blog/lemu-joins-tnfd-forum-and-atlas-listed-in-tnfd-tools-catalogue/) and its platform [Atlas](https://lemu-web.prie.to/atlas/) is listed in the [TNFD Tools Catalogue](https://lemu-web.prie.to/blog/lemu-joins-tnfd-forum-and-atlas-listed-in-tnfd-tools-catalogue/), contributing to the development of tools and indicators that align with TNFD’s disclosure recommendations.

### Example in Practice

💡

****Banks** using TNFD guidance reports on its portfolio’s dependencies on freshwater ecosystems, assessing exposure to water scarcity risks and informing lending policies.

💡

****Mining** companies apply TNFD to disclose risks of biodiversity loss and water stress linked to extraction sites. Metrics like [NDVI time series](https://lemu-web.prie.to/docs/indicators/ndvi-trend-greenpulse/) and [water risk](https://lemu-web.prie.to/docs/indicators/water-risk/) models are prioritised to monitor ecosystem degradation and freshwater dependency.

💡

****Energy** firms use TNFD-aligned indicators to track land-use change, impacts on freshwater ecosystems, and emissions. This enables disclosure of dependencies on wetlands and coastal systems, influencing lending and investment decisions.

### Cross-Mapping with Other Frameworks

- [**GRI**](https://lemu-web.prie.to/docs/alphabet/gri/): TNFD disclosures can be reported through GRI Standards, which already provide a widely adopted sustainability reporting structure.
- [**SBTN**](https://lemu-web.prie.to/docs/alphabet/sbtn/): TNFD focuses on assessing and disclosing nature-related risks and dependencies, while SBTN provides target-setting guidance. Together, they enable organisations to move from disclosure to action.
- [**GBF**](https://lemu-web.prie.to/docs/alphabet/gbf/): TNFD recommendations help organisations align corporate reporting with the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework goals.
