National Consultation Group on TNFD Framework
TNFD Consultation Group is an informal group of institutions within the country keen to learn together about how to identify, assess and manage nature-related risks, share insights and feedback on the TNFD framework; and encourage others in their national stakeholder community – across business, government and civil society – to engage in the mission and work of the TNFD. TNFD has identified an initial set of six countries to develop the Consultation Groups and in India the group is hosted by Confederation of Indian Industry as a work program of India Business & Biodiversity Initiative (IBBI).
CII is establishing an “IBBI National Consultation Group on TNFD Framework” with a purpose to build awareness of the TNFD’s work and expand the number of institutions contributing feedback on the beta version of our framework, including through pilot testing. The Consultation Group will also play a valuable role in scaling market adoption of the TNFD Framework once the final framework will be released in September 2023.

matters. The following is an outline of key objectives of the EGBP:
