This panel discussion explores how nature-positive disclosure can accelerate green investment in Indonesia by helping organizations identify, manage, and disclose nature-related risks and opportunities. Drawing on perspectives from WWF-Indonesia, PT PLN, and CarbonEthics, the session highlights the role of TNFD in strengthening business resilience, meeting investor expectations, and translating sustainability commitments into measurable environmental and social impact.

Key Takeaways

• Nature-related risks, including biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation, are increasingly affecting businesses, financial systems, and investment decisions.
• The Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) provides a framework for organizations to identify, assess, manage, and disclose nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks, and opportunities.
• TNFD is intended to support better risk management and decision-making, rather than serving solely as a reporting or compliance requirement.
• PT PLN shared its experience as Indonesia’s first TNFD adopter, including integrating nature considerations into governance, business strategy, asset mapping, and sustainability reporting.
• Implementing TNFD requires leadership commitment, reliable data, cross-functional collaboration, and the integration of nature-related considerations into core business operations.
• Investor expectations are increasingly driving organizations to improve transparency around nature-related risks and sustainability performance.
• Nature-based projects can create measurable environmental, social, and economic benefits through ecosystem restoration, community empowerment, and innovative financing mechanisms.
• Scaling a nature-positive economy requires collaboration among governments, businesses, financial institutions, NGOs, local communities, and other stakeholders.
• Green investment should move beyond disclosure by delivering long-term, measurable impacts for both nature and communities.
