DBSA encourages nature - positive investments
Companies are being urged to shift towards environmental stewardship in their decision-making process, as part of a new report on the continents nature-related financial disclosures, which has been commissioned by the DBSA and Oliver Wyman, the agency behind the UN s Environmental Protection Agency (Environmental Rights Agency) says. (). The BBC looks at the impact of nature and climate change in Africa, writes Diane Silcock, who is leading the country to develop sustainable infrastructure projects in the region, and asks companies to rethink the way they can tackle the risks that could be linked to the development of Africa. The latest report has revealed how the world is facing increasing concerns about sustainability in its efforts to reduce its impact on biodiversity and the environment, but why is it so important to take action to protect the natural capital of the African continent to save wildlife and protect its environmentally-conscious investments in recent weeks. Why is this really essential for businesses to make savings and investing in nature - and how it can help avoid threats from fossil fuel emissions, social justice and ethical governance practices in some areas where the planet is under exposure to global warming and human rights laws? Should these changes be carried out by corporates to improve transparency and protection of its natural wealth? What does it mean for the future of African investors and business leaders to change its approach to nature, in an effort to boost the economic growth?
