Protéger les zones critiques pour la biodiversité de la prédation fossile

Reclaim Finance argues that the financial sector continues to drive biodiversity loss by funding fossil fuel exploitation, which causes deforestation, habitat fragmentation, and pollution. The organization criticizes current financial frameworks like the TNFD for focusing too much on transparency rather than concrete action. It demands that financial actors and regulators exclude all support for oil, gas, and coal projects in critical areas such as the Amazon, the Arctic, and the Coral Triangle, noting that the latter is threatened by over 450 offshore exploration blocks and 31 LNG terminals.

• The fossil fuel production system is a primary driver of biodiversity destruction through deforestation, persistent pollution, habitat fragmentation, and local ecosystem degradation caused by infrastructure.
• Current financial sector approaches to biodiversity are insufficient: global frameworks like the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) prioritize transparency over concrete practice changes, while targeted commitments only cover a fraction of critical zones.
• The Coral Triangle in Southeast Asia, the world's most biodiverse marine region and a source of subsistence for 120 million people, is specifically threatened by fossil fuel exploitation, including more than 450 offshore exploration blocks and 31 land-based or floating liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals.
• Financial supervisors and central banks are urged to integrate biodiversity protection into monetary policy tools, such as collateral frameworks and monetary portfolios, as well as into bank supervision via prudential transition plans.
