New paper on the impact of real estate on nature

INREV’s latest paper, ‘The Impact of Real Estate on Nature, explores the interconnection between real estate and the natural environment, offering valuable insights into how the industry can embrace nature-positive strategies. 

As frameworks like the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) and the UK’s Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) legislation gain traction, the paper equips real estate investors and investment managers with practical guidance to integrate nature-positive approaches across portfolios and assets. 

The paper highlights the importance of establishing a nature baseline to preserve and enhance local ecosystems, emphasising nature-based solutions like green roofs and biodiversity-friendly spaces to address climate risks while preserving asset value.

By linking to real-world case studies, the paper illustrates how biodiversity-focused strategies can support ecosystems while also delivering long-term business benefits.
