Building Bridges: The State of Nature-Based Investments
Private capital is crucial for financing nature-based solutions (NbS), yet most sources of financing remain public. Our panel will discuss the current state of NbS investments and next steps to make this asset class more accessible to private investors, leveraging lessons from forestry and regenerative agriculture to broaden NbS opportunities.
On December 12, 2024, IISD held a panel discussion at the Building Bridges conference in Geneva, Switzerland, exploring the state-of-play of nature-based investments and the potential opportunities they present.
