This report by WWF South Africa assesses the readiness of 20 large Johannesburg Stock Exchange-listed companies across the financial, consumer goods, and telecommunications sectors to adopt the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) framework. It finds that while climate-related reporting is mature, nature-related disclosures are in their infancy, with very few companies formally adopting the TNFD recommendations by the end of 2025.

This report by Transforma provides a comprehensive guide for the financial sector to integrate nature-related risks and opportunities into business models. It identifies four primary barriers—undervaluation of nature, regulatory gaps, challenges in nature-based financing, and a knowledge gap—and proposes strategies to overcome them. A significant portion of the document is dedicated to detailing the 'Locate' phase of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) LEAP approach, offering a roadmap for financial institutions to identify the geographical and sectoral intersections of their portfolios with the natural environment.

This case study describes FSD Africa's initiative to integrate the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) framework into the African financial sector. The program focuses on building institutional capacity, advocating for an 'African voice' in global disclosure standards, and piloting the framework with FirstRand to ensure it is fit for the local context.

This report by FSD Africa provides a first quantitative risk assessment and stress-testing framework for financial institutions in Africa to evaluate nature-related opportunities and risks. Using the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) LEAP approach, the study analyzes the impact of nature loss and nature-positive transitions on equity and lending portfolios across several African countries and private banks. It highlights that while aggregate portfolio impacts may appear small due to limited direct exposure, the risks are material for nature-intensive sectors like agriculture and extractives, where nature-related risks could double expected credit losses by 2030.
