Birds flying above ocean

The business case for protecting and restoring nature and biodiversity is growing. The challenge now is around mobilizing funding (both public and private) to help close the nature financing gap.

The time is now for businesses and the financial sector, as well as the conservation communities on the ground, to deploy change to break barriers and meet financing needs for conservation.

This paper provides a clear business case for the need to invest in nature, an up-to-date overview of the current landscape of investment strategies for financing and investing in this space (both from a public and a private perspective), an analysis of the current challenges in scaling investments in nature, and concludes with clear steps for moving forwards.
