Global Future Council on Innovative Financing for Nature and Climate

About the Global Future Council on Innovative Financing for Nature and Climate

To achieve net zero emissions and reverse biodiversity loss by 2050, funding for equitable climate and nature transitions must increase by over $3 trillion annually. Multistakeholder partnerships are essential to heighten ambition, unlock innovative financing, and build accelerated capabilities to address the planet's most pressing crises.

How can we develop and implement new financing models that accelerate transitions toward net zero and nature-positive outcomes?
