This document is a discussion paper that presents an overview of the current landscape of biodiversity footprinting approaches, including their limitations and sets out six steps to help market participants select and disclose these approaches appropriate for their requirements.
TNFD developed this paper in partnership with the Partnership for Biodiversity Accounting Financials (PBAF). It builds on the significant work on biodiversity footprinting of PBAF, the Align project, the Finance for Biodiversity Foundation and others to help companies and financial institutions make informed decisions on where to start and the approaches to use as they navigate this area.
