Developed jointly by WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature) and Investec Asset Management, this report points sovereign debt investors to the use of geospatial data to identify trends in natural-resource use and countries’ commitment to conserving biodiversity.
Spatial tools and data may help them form an independent and credible assessment of the systemic environmental risks countries face. Integrating environmental considerations more fully into sovereign debt investing will enable the finance community to play a meaningful role, assisting countries to forge a path towards sustainable development.
