From restoring forests to rebuilding wetlands, nature-based solutions harness the power of the natural world to help combat climate change. And with over half of the global GDP dependent on healthy ecosystems, investing in nature is imperative for economic resilience. Yet, this vital area remains drastically underfunded. The annual global investment in nature-based solutions is just US$154 billion per year – less than one-third of the 2030 requirement. Public funding and traditional investing cannot bridge this gap as they are insufficient both in terms of availability and type of capital needed to address the breadth of needs. Join us as we explore how impact investors can support the delicate balance between nature positive investments and financial innovations.
