Supporting the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD)

Key Issues: 

• Governance and structure, 
• accountability
• Engagement of stakeholders

Case updates: 

The complaint, filed by multiple environmental and human rights organizations including Rainforest Action Network and the Global Forest Coalition, asserts that UNEP, in supporting the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), has breached several of its own policies. Specifically, UNEP's involvement with TNFD allegedly violates good governance and environmental defenders, and access-to-information policies among others.

The complainants request that UNEP re-evaluates its involvement with TNFD, enforcing UNEP’s policies on environmental and human rights protection, transparency, and stakeholder inclusion.
