National readiness for nature-related disclosures in emerging markets

From late 2021 to early 2022, UNDP, with funding from the Government of Italy, conducted a study of five emerging economies (Indonesia, India, Mexico, Zambia, and Costa Rica) with a view to assessing their readiness for nature-related disclosures.

The studies were based on ten questions and data collected through interviews and questionnaires with regulators and supervisors, complemented by desk reviews. At the country level, the studies were led by UNDP-BIOFIN (Biodiversity Finance Initiative) country teams. This report presents a summary of results to offer decision-makers and experts insights into the practical application of nature-related disclosures.
