At a time when biodiversity loss increasingly affects economic resilience and financial stability, the organisations underline a shared conviction: nature-related risks cannot be effectively addressed through isolated action. They require stronger cooperation across disciplines, institutions and sectors, supported by robust scientific knowledge and international dialogue. Through this joint statement, the participating organisations affirm their willingness to strengthen the science-finance interface and contribute to a more coherent and evidence-based approach to nature-related risks.
In particular, they highlight the importance of:
-
strengthening dialogue between science, finance and public institutions to improve mutual understanding of nature-related dependencies, impacts and risks;
-
supporting the mobilisation of scientific knowledge and expertise to better inform financial analysis, methodologies and decision-making;
-
encouraging stronger cooperation across sectors and governance levels to help align financial flows and economic systems with biodiversity objectives;
-
contributing to enabling conditions for more resilient and nature-positive financial systems, including stronger analytical capacities, evolving tools and improved knowledge-sharing.
By bringing together financial institutions, research actors and European biodiversity partnerships, this initiative seeks to reinforce dialogue, bridge expertise, and support practical pathways for mainstreaming biodiversity considerations into economic and financial decision-making, in line with the objectives of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. At a time when multilateral cooperation is increasingly challenged globally, this shared statement reflects the need for a multilateral and cross-sector response to nature-related risks. Building on the momentum of the 10 June workshop, Banque de France, FRB, Biodiversa+, the BiodivRestore Knowledge Hub and CO-OP4CBD and RESPIN projects reaffirm a shared ambition: to strengthen the multilateral cooperation between science and finance and help ensure that scientific evidence more effectively informs financial action.
