Nature-related financial risks
Competence frameworks for the built environment – Core criteria for sustainability competence - Code of practice , Version 3, published by the Edge for the Construction Industry Council in February 2025, defines nature-related financial risks as: ‘financial risks that arise from changes in the stock and/or condition of natural capital and from societal responses to those changes. These risks can arise from three channels or ‘risk factors’: physical, transition and litigation.’
