The Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) has published a research note on navigating nature-related data to support the analysis of nature-related financial risks. The note aims to help users identify relevant data sources and prioritise metrics based on specific use cases, supported by case studies showing how nature-related indicators can be applied in financial risk analysis. It highlights practical lessons for improving the usefulness of nature-related data, including the need for centralised data infrastructure, better geospatial information, and the combination of datasets to reflect complex ecosystem dynamics. The note also points to the potential role of new technologies, including artificial intelligence, and stronger public-private cooperation to improve data quality and availability. This note forms part of the NGFS 2026 Nature Package.
