Nature-based solutions are crucial for climate mitigation, adaptation, and biodiversity protection, with the UN Environment Program calling for increased investment to $571 billion annually by 2030. These investments not only have the potential to lift people out of poverty, create jobs, and boost the economy but also prevent climate change damages. Financial institutions are recognizing the risks of nature loss and are incorporating nature-based investments to enhance long-term financial performance. To make nature-based investment a viable asset class, transparency, predictability, auditability, and alignment with global standards are necessary, as emphasized by participants in a workshop focusing on systemic change and transformative integration of nature-based solutions.
