Making Nature Count
in Global Finance

Resetting the relationship between nature and finance is at the core of building an inclusive, sustainable world.

From the food we eat, the water we drink, to the mobile phones and streaming services we use, and the homes we live in, our 100 trillion dollar global economy is 100% dependent on nature.

Nature is being degraded at unprecedented rates, with financing patterns continuing to drive nature destruction and global temperature rises.

Since finance is the lifeblood of the economy, our future will depend on redirecting financial flows away from investments that harm nature, towards investments that do good.

The global financial system must quickly and radically innovate to successfully integrate nature-related risks and opportunities.

Such realignment requires financial instruments that connect with and integrate nature, and that can be scaled in the near term.

NatureFinance is creating new pathways to align global finance with equitable, nature positive outcomes.

Tackling the climate and nature crises requires thinking and actioning the unthinkable. Discover why it’s time to plan for a hotter, more disruptive world as we continually breach temperatures of 1.5C above preindustrial levels.

Making change

Sovereign Debt

Integrating natural capital in the world’s sovereign debt markets, including scaling the issuance of sustainability performance-linked sovereign bonds.

NatureAlign

NatureFinance has developed a first of its kind Tool to track alignment, identify policy solutions and provide a foundation for action to increase nature positive outcomes across the financial sector.

Nature Markets

We term nature markets as markets where nature is priced and traded. These markets could include trade in nature’s “goods,” such as food, or in nature’s “services,” such as providing a stable climate. Most nature markets are currently extractive and damaging to nature. In a world facing systemic disruption, we believe it is critical to make nature markets nature-positive, and part of a new nature economy through advancing effective governance.

Food Finance Nexus

Exploring the food-finance nexus to determine how global finance can be shaped to support the transition to an inclusive, healthy, sustainable food system, especially as extreme weather escalates and temperatures rise.

Nature Liabilities

Extending the liabilities of financial institutions for nature outcomes, including the application of anti-money laundering rules to break the links between investment and nature crimes.
