Dunya Analytics to show unified climate and nature risk tools at COP17

Dunya Analytics will use COP17 in Yerevan to demonstrate software that combines climate and biodiversity risk analysis for corporate decision-making. The company says the approach helps businesses meet disclosure demands and better assess supply-chain exposure to environmental change.

Why it matters: - Corporate sustainability teams still often manage climate risk and nature risk separately, even though the two are linked. - Dunya Analytics says that split weakens the business case for action and leaves supply chains exposed to compound physical and transition risks. - The company is positioning unified climate-and-nature analytics as a practical path for companies trying to meet biodiversity disclosure requirements and protect financial performance.

What happened: - Dunya Analytics will present integrated climate and nature risk tools at COP17, the biodiversity conference in Yerevan. - The company will co-host and feature in multiple sessions during the summit. - Dr. Rebecca Stern, chief sustainability officer at Dunya Analytics, said many corporations treat biodiversity loss as an isolated ESG metric.

The details: - Dunya Analytics will run an interactive workshop with the UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre on integrated nature and climate risk assessment. - The workshop will walk participants through real data and a decision framework that links local ecological exposure to corporate financial impacts. - Dunya Analytics will also appear in the official Data to Action Pavilion, convened by GBIF, GEO BON, GEO, the Smithsonian Institution and the University of Zurich. - That session is co-organized with IBAT, described as a biodiversity data provider. - Presenters will use the Dunya Analytics platform with integrated IBAT data to run a live, location-specific risk assessment. - The session will show how TNFD criteria for sensitive locations, including protected areas and declining ecosystem integrity, can translate into regulatory exposure and changing market expectations. - Dunya Analytics will also take part in the Nature intelligence for the world’s 300 million SMEs session, where top solutions from the Nature Intelligence for Business Grand Challenge will showcase deployment lessons. - The company said it is a Grand Challenge winner and will be featured in that session. - Dunya Analytics says its platform helps businesses turn complex environmental data into actionable intelligence. - The company says that capability supports compliance with the Global Biodiversity Framework’s Target 15, which calls for monitoring, assessing and transparently disclosing biodiversity dependencies. - More information is available on Dunya Analytics.

Between the lines: - The announcement reflects a broader push to convert biodiversity reporting from a compliance exercise into a financial-risk workflow. - The company’s pitch is that climate and nature data become more useful when they are analyzed together, not in separate reporting streams. - The focus on live assessments and supply-chain exposure suggests Dunya Analytics wants to show operational use, not just policy alignment.

What's next: - Dunya Analytics will use COP17 sessions to show how corporate teams can move from assessment to financial strategy. - The company is also inviting meetings in Yerevan for organizations interested in its platform. - The practical test will be whether COP17 attendees see unified climate-and-nature analytics as a decision tool they can deploy, not just a conference theme.
