Japan currently leads the world in the number of companies registered as early adopters of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), reflecting growing awareness of biodiversity and ecosystem-related risks. However, there is still a gap between early commitment and meaningful integration of nature-related risks into corporate strategy, governance, and decision-making. As global frameworks such as the Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) gain momentum, expectations are rising for companies and regulators to go beyond disclosure and support real-world outcomes for nature.

提案

The Japanese government should:
  • Support the integration of nature-related risks into financial and corporate disclosure systems, building on TNFD guidance
  • Ensure that TNFD commitments are accompanied by concrete risk assessments, targets, and governance mechanisms
  • Promote alignment with international biodiversity goals and frameworks (e.g. GBF)
Bridging the gap between disclosure and action will help Japan safeguard natural capital, reduce systemic financial risk, and strengthen its leadership in global sustainability finance.
