Nature loss is accelerating at an unprecedented rate, posing systemic risks to economies, societies and businesses. The World Economic Forum (WEF) Global Risks Report consistently identifies biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse among the top global long-term risks, with increasing recognition that nature degradation threatens supply chains, access to raw materials, water security, food systems and macroeconomic stability.
They were designed to work together to help companies set credible science-based targets to address their impacts and dependencies, while also assessing, reporting, and acting on their nature-related dependencies, impacts risks, and opportunities.
The importance of these tools in helping business respond to Target 15, amongst other uses, cannot be overstated. However, their relationship may seem, at a glance, complicated to first-time users.
The National Business Initiative (NBI) invites you to an online peer learning session aimed at exploring the practical complementarity between SBTN and TNFD.
The webinar seeks to provide practical insights into how SBTN and TNFD can be used together to advance nature-positive business.
Participants will:
Understand why nature risk is business risk for South African companies
Explore the SBTN framework, including the 5-step target-setting process and how its outputs support TNFD disclosure
Explore the TNFD framework, including the LEAP approach and how its outputs can inform SBTN target-setting
Learn how SBTN outputs could feed into TNFD-aligned reporting
Review a business case study showcasing practical application, challenges, and lessons learned
Engage in peer discussion on implementation challenges and opportunities
Why participate?
Strengthen your organisation’s ability to respond to nature-related risks, align with global expectations, and take credible, science-based action toward a nature-positive future.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) Global Risks Report consistently identifies biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse among the top global long-term risks, with increasing recognition that nature degradation threatens supply chains, access to raw materials, water security, food systems and macroeconomic stability.
To support the private sector in meeting these obligations, two globally recognised frameworks, the Science Based Targets Network (SBTN) and the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), provide actionable, science-based, and interoperable approaches for corporate nature action.
