Abstract

Businesses, financial institutions and regulators are increasingly taking measures to better understand nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks and opportunities. Choosing the right tools to support a nature assessment can, however, be challenging. The Nature Tools Compass addresses this challenge. It features tools with global or multi-regional geographical coverage that are licensed for use by business and finance and offer some form of free-of-charge access. The tools are mapped to relevant phases of the Locate, Evaluate, Assess and Prepare (LEAP) approach. The Nature Tools Compass is an output of the Strengthening Understanding and Strategies of Business to Assess and Integrate Nature (SUSTAIN) Horizon Europe project.
