Nature is emerging as a unifying thread across the environmental, social, and financial dimensions of real estate. Biodiversity loss affects climate resilience, community wellbeing, and asset performance—requiring a more integrated response from investors and developers alike. Investors, regulators, and developers are increasingly aware of these dynamics, yet translating them into actionable investment strategies remains a challenge.

This webinar explores how biodiversity is reshaping sustainability and risk management in real estate. With the introduction of biodiversity and nature strategy indicators in GRESB’s assessments, the sector is moving toward more structured disclosure and integration of nature-related risks and opportunities. From regulation to regeneration, this session connects the dots between climate, nature, social impact, and capital for the built environment.

Bringing together experts from GRESB, Longevity Partners, and industry leaders, we examined practical tools and frameworks—including the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), Urban Greening Factor, and Nature Positive strategies—and explore how nature-based solutions (NbS) can help deliver resilience and long-term value.
