The Natural Capital Declaration (NCD) will be launched at the UN Global Compact (UNGC) Rio+20 Corporate Sustainability Forum (CSF). The event will include an introduction to the NCD and a discussion with financial industry senior executives on motivations for endorsing the NCD, and ways to further “hardwire” natural capital into finance. The event is co-convened by the UN Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI), the Global Canopy Programme (GCP), and the Center for Sustainability Studies (GVces) of the Business Administration School of the Getulio Vargas Foundation.
