SUMMARY:Nature Action Accelerator: Module 4 A South African Perspective on a Global Shift Toward Nature
DESCRIPTION: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. \nTo 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. \nThey 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.     \n\n\n\n    \n\n\n\n        \n        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. \nThe National Business Initiative (NBI) invites you to an online peer learning session aimed at exploring the practical complementarity between SBTN and TNFD.     \n\n        \n                        \n        \n                        \n                        \n                        \n                    \n\n        \n    \n                                \n\n    \n    \n                    The webinar seeks to provide practical insights into how SBTN and TNFD can be used together to advance nature-positive business.            \n    \n\n\n\n\n        \n        Participants will: \n\nUnderstand why nature risk is business risk for South African companies\nExplore the SBTN framework\, including the 5-step target-setting process and how its outputs support TNFD disclosure\nExplore the TNFD framework\, including the LEAP approach and how its outputs can inform SBTN target-setting\nLearn how SBTN outputs could feed into TNFD-aligned reporting\nReview a business case study showcasing practical application\, challenges\, and lessons learned\nEngage in peer discussion on implementation challenges and opportunities\n    \n\n        \n                        \n        \n                        \n                        \n                        \n                    \n\n        \n        Why participate? \nStrengthen 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.     \n\n        \n                        \n        \n                        \n                        \n                        \n                    \n\n        \n    \n                                \n\n    \n    \n                    Event Details:            \n    \n\n\n\n\n        \n        \nDate: Wednesday\, 24 June 2026\nTime: 10:00 – 12:30\nPlatform: Online via Zoom\n    \n\n\n\n        \n        \nWe look forward to your participation as we advance collective action for nature-positive business in South Africa.\n    \n\n        \n                        \n        \n                        \n                        \n                        \n                    \n\n        \n                        \n                                                Click Here to RSVP
