In addition to hosting the Secretariat for the TNFD, the Green Finance Institute is the convenor of the TNFD UK Consultation Group – one of six consultation groups being activated at a national or regional level to expand outreach and engagement on nature-related business and finance, and the TNFD framework.
As convenor, the Institute engages with national financial institutions, corporate actors, civil society organisations, local communities, and public sector institutions to:
- understand national concerns around nature-related risks and opportunities
- socialise the draft TNFD framework with local actors
- gain feedback on the draft framework to ensure the final framework can be readily applied by organisations in the UK
The National Consultation Group acts as a central hub of support to UK companies and financial institutions as they seek to understand, engage with, pilot and adopt the TNFD Framework.
We work closely with trade associations and membership organisations, in addition to individual companies that are part of the TNFD Forum, to ensure they have the support they need on their journey to adopting the framework.
We host public awareness-building events, in addition to more targeted events to provide advice on piloting and adoption and TNFD Forum member-only events to gather feedback on the framework and the releases.
For more information on the Group and how to ensure you are included in upcoming events including feedback sessions, technical sessions and broader information sessions, please see below.
