TNFD Launches Platform to Upskill Professionals on Nature-related Reporting

  • New platform includes self-guided Learning Lab and Trainer Portal for professionals.
  • TNFD aims to support businesses in integrating nature-related risks into decision-making.
  • More than 520 companies and financial institutions have committed to TNFD-aligned reporting.

The Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) has launched a new capacity-building platform to help businesses and professionals develop skills in identifying, assessing, and reporting on nature-related financial risks. The initiative follows growing demand for expertise in managing biodiversity and environmental dependencies, especially after TNFD released its 14 recommended disclosures in 2023. With more than 520 companies and financial institutions committed to aligning with TNFD’s framework, the new platform aims to provide structured learning resources to enhance corporate decision-making on nature and sustainability.

The platform debuts with two key tools: the Learning Lab, a self-guided resource with nine modules covering TNFD recommendations through videos, case studies, and interactive content; and the Trainer Portal, a content suite for in-house and third-party training providers, including universities and consultants. These tools are designed to integrate seamlessly into sustainability training programs, enabling broader adoption of nature-related financial disclosure practices.

TNFD Executive Director Tony Goldner emphasized the importance of equipping businesses with practical knowledge, stating, “The resilience of business and investment returns depends, in part, on the resilience of nature.” With over 1,700 organizations engaged in the TNFD Forum and more than 300,000 downloads of TNFD guidance documents in the past year, the initiative reflects the increasing recognition of nature’s role in financial and business strategy.
