This interactive roundtable will explore the key gaps and opportunities in nature-based financing, focusing on challenges in deal flow, science-backed data, community-led projects, and scaling investment in nature-based solutions. Participants will engage in a dynamic, participatory discussion, contributing their insights and experiences to help identify where impact investors and conservation leaders can work together to improve financing for sustainable, nature-based initiatives.
As part of a broader "listening tour," by Sorenson this session aims to gather critical information to shape the development of a future nature-based investing initiative. Participants will play an active role in identifying the pressing gaps in the current landscape while exchanging ideas with peers on how to overcome these challenges and drive more effective investments in nature-based solutions.
