Investing in nature

The Nature Investment Facility is a Multi-Partner Trust Fund that will direct high-impact investments into the world's most at-risk ecosystems

The Nature Investment Facility was born out of an urgent need for action to halt and reverse biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation. Traditional approaches to conservation cannot meet the scale and the pace of the biodiversity crisis alone. The current paradigm in nature conservation falls short in addressing the fundamental challenges associated with how global production systems are set up, where finance flows and how it is valued by all segments of society.

To achieve the targets outlined in the Global Biodiversity Framework, there is a need to transcend the traditional boundaries of conservation. Grant funding alone will not be enough to close the nature financing gap and scale up necessary support for biodiversity. Private investment has the potential to unlock significant capital flows and foster a financial ecosystem that values and invests in nature over time. This is where the Nature Investment Facility, and its growing alliance of public-private partners, will work to deliver transformative change and nature-positive solutions that are both economically viable and socially and ecologically beneficial.
