However, nature-related risks—such as deforestation, land conversion, freshwater management, and marine life protection—continue to be overlooked.
The document summarizes the 2024 SUSREG annual report, highlighting key findings and recommendations on financial regulation and supervision, central banking activities, and the broader enabling environment for sustainable finance.
