    Hi everyone, my name is Carmel and I’m joining from Aegon Group – a global insurance and pension provider based in the Netherlands. At Aegon, I manage our responsible investment strategy, where the topic of nature and biodiversity has gained increasing attention – particularly in terms of its linkage to climate change and how such dependencies, impacts, risks, and opportunities can impact our investment portfolio and financial performance. We are in the process of maturing our responsible investment approach related to biodiversity, including exploring TNFD disclosures; therefore, I hope this course will provide useful guidance on how to quantify biodiversity-related risks related to our portfolio, investment opportunities for the financial industry, and views from practitioners and peers on how they are approaching this topic and how they are overcoming present limitations (i.e., lack of data).

    In terms of how I like to spend my free time, I enjoy cycling and dancing flamenco! Looking forward to interacting with you all over these next five weeks.
