Nature finance holds the key to halting biodiversity loss by steering capital towards nature-positive purposes and re-directing capital away from nature-negative outcomes. However, scaling nature finance faces a multitude of challenges. The lack of clear policy frameworks with enforceable regulation hinders commitment to halting biodiversity loss by financial institutions. The complex character of ‘biodiversity’ poses challenges in designing and implementing appropriate targets and standards, and corresponding metrics. The thin level of awareness and technical capacity across the financial sector further hinders the aggressive level of action that is needed to meet nature recovery goals. 

Coming soon, this Masterclass is for public sector professionals across governments, central banks and regulators, as well as philanthropic organisations and civil society to understand nature finance and have an improved grasp of the current landscape and developments, to accelerate the policy dialogue and create innovative, scalable and effective solutions.
