New Sector Action Guidance for Nature: Getting Started in the Agricultural, Forestry and Mining Sectors

UNEP FI's new Principles for Responsible Banking (PRB) guidance, Sector Action Guidance for Nature: Getting Started in the Agricultural, Forestry and Mining Sectors, aims to translate the recommendations from the PRB Nature Target Setting Guidance into practical, sector-specific actions. Developed in partnership with The Biodiversity Consultancy (TBC), this new PRB Sector Guidance makes explicit the specific priority actions banks can support clients to take in high impact sectors such as mining, agriculture and forestry, and is aimed to empower banks in their risk mitigation efforts across six key commodities, namely bauxite, copper, cattle, wood, soy and palm oil.
