Nature underpins economic activity, yet many organisations are only beginning to understand how their dependencies and impacts on ecosystems translate into business and financial risks and opportunities. In Kenya, this challenge is particularly significant given the importance of nature-dependent sectors to the economy and financial institutions’ exposure through the activities they finance.
Lybra has worked on complementary initiatives for WWF-Kenya and UNDP to help strengthen the market’s ability to identify, assess, manage and disclose nature-related issues.
Lybra’s work has also extended to the wider enabling environment through a national assessment of Kenya’s readiness for nature-related financial disclosures. The assessment combined policy and regulatory analysis with private-sector surveys, stakeholder interviews and validation to examine institutional readiness, organisational capacity, disclosure practices, data and systems, and alignment with emerging global frameworks.
Together, these engagements connect organisational action with wider market readiness – from building knowledge and providing practical tools to understanding the policy, institutional and data conditions required to scale nature-related disclosure.
The work shows how organisations can move beyond viewing nature primarily as an environmental issue and begin understanding how nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks, and opportunities influence strategy, risk, investment, and long-term value.
