Webinar: Strengthening Resilience with FINMA’s Nature-Risk Requirements

Nature-related risks are increasingly shaping financial stability and value creation. FINMA’s new circular on nature-related financial risks marks an important signal to the market: these risks are now recognised as financially material and must be actively managed.

Yet the conversation goes beyond compliance. This webinar explores how institutions can use FINMA’s direction as a catalyst for resilience — strengthening governance, risk management, and decision-making frameworks to capture both risks and opportunities linked to nature.

Led by Liesl van de Vyver Blackman, Head of Policy Analysis at NatureAlpha, the session examines:

  • What FINMA expects between now and 2028, and what that means in practice.
  • How to operationalise nature risk alongside climate — from identification to integration.
  • How to align approaches with leading frameworks (EBA, UK PRA, ISSB, TCFD, TNFD) for comparability and efficiency.
  • Why nature-related risk management is foundational to long-term resilience and financial performance.

Gain a clear understanding of how to move beyond awareness — towards practical, data-driven nature-risk integration that supports strategic resilience and regulatory readiness!
