The program, open to companies from all across the region, aims to pilot a set of nature and biodiversity metrics to assess their operational applicability, helping companies manage risks and integrate nature into strategic business decisions.

Together with the Latin American Association of Development Finance Institutions (ALIDE), ImplementaSur co-designed and will teach the course “ESG and Sustainable Finance: Integration, Strategy, and Decision-Making,” aimed at teams from development banks and other financial institutions across the region.

Latin America has made important strides in developing standards and tools to integrate climate risk into its financial system. But technical sophistication alone does not guarantee that capital will flow toward the transition. The real challenge is building a financial architecture in which measurement and economic incentives work together to transform portfolios and channel financing toward activities compatible with a low-carbon economy.

As part of a pioneering initiative led by Acción Empresas, with technical support from Business for Nature, ImplementaSur is supporting participating companies in developing their nature and biodiversity strategies.
