State of Finance for Nature 2022: Time to act - Doubling investment by 2025 and eliminating nature-negative finance flows

The second edition of the State of Finance for Nature report launched today reveals that nature-based solutions are still significantly under-financed. If the world wants to halt biodiversity loss, limit climate change to below 1.5C and achieve land degradation neutrality by 2030, current finance flows to NbS must urgently double by 2025 and triple by 2030. Delayed action is not an option in the face of the devastating effects of climate change, the extinction crisis, and severe land degradation globally.

Forum Ökologisch-Soziale Marktwirtschaft/ Green Budget Germany contributed to case studies - on Germany and Cote d'Ivoire - to the report.
