There is approximately a $700 billion per year gap between the current and required financing to meet the 2030 targets of the GBF. Finance, both public and private, has a central role to play in closing this gap.
To catalyse the role of financial institutions in meaningfully contributing towards the GBF, this session will involve discussions around:
- private commercial capital as a key part of achieving the goals of the GBF and a nature-positive economy;
- achieving nature-positive outcomes requires both halting existing damage to nature while also contributing to reversing nature loss, and that financing can be structured to achieve both;
- understanding how private commercial capital is being operationalised to both halt and reverse nature loss, galvanising action for other financial institutions, through the lens of different financial actors.
