Help us to shape a future that not only acknowledges but demonstrates how investing in nature-based solutions can address the multi-faceted environmental crises and broader societal challenges that affect humanity today.
The purpose of this Open Call is to highlight examples of investment models that could be replicated or scaled-up by others across the globe. Following the IUCN definition, investment in nature-based solutions should be interpreted in a broader sense as capital flows that contribute positively to climate change mitigation, restoration and/or biodiversity conservation.

The State of Finance for Nature : Towards a framework to track financing for Nature Based Solutions is a collaborative initiative of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), Economics of Land Degradation (ELD) Initiative hosted by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), and the Tropical Forest Alliance 2020 (TFA) hosted at the World Economic Forum. The Report set to be released in 2021 will provide information about the degree of existing public and private finance that is directed to activities/assets that can be considered nature-based solutions. It will feature practical cases as a means to stimulate replication.
