Approximately one dozen institutional investors announced a new Climate Action 100+-modeled global corporate engagement initiative—dubbed Nature Action 100— as pertains to nature and biodiversity degradation. The initiative, planned to formally launch next year, will identify a list of 100 focus companies for investor engagement in sectors “deemed to be “systematically important to the goal of reversing nature and biodiversity loss by 2030” and is planned to facilitate and monitor corporate and public policy activities that protect and restore nature.
