Webinar: Make Nature Count 2.0

Incorporating the value of nature in impact assessments of financial investments This webinar presented the results of the Make Nature Count 2.0 report, which marks the latest step in the joint mission of ASN bank and the Foundation for Sustainable Development (FSD) to integrate ecosystem service valuation into financial decision-making. ASN Bank’s long-term goal to achieve a net positive effect on biodiversity through its loans and investments by 2030, is devoted to preventing further biodiversity loss and actively fostering a net increase. ​Building on the insights of last year’s “Make Nature Count” report, this document delves deeper into the practical application of monetary valuation of ecosystem services. Our aim is to explore where this methodology fits within the evolving frameworks and regulations established over the past year. We investigate how it can be integrated into impact assessments, thereby offering crucial insights on how nature can be considered in decision-making.
