Podcast

Judson Berkey
Hear from Judson Berkey, Managing Director in the Chief Sustainability Office at UBS, as we learn first-hand how banks are approaching nature risk.
Within finance, nature is usually treated as background: important, but invisible. However, that is beginning to change. New frameworks, regulations, and expectations are emerging worldwide, and many firms are starting to measure their impacts and dependencies on nature.
In this episode, we explore how that shift is happening from the perspective of someone inside one of the world’s largest banks. We discuss:
- Which lessons from climate disclosure apply to nature, and which do not;
- Why some regulatory approaches to ESG-type topics are more effective than others; and
- The importance of not waiting for perfect data before taking action.
