Finance is one of the strongest levers we have to shift outcomes for climate, nature, and people. The goal is not just to mobilize more finance, but to mobilize finance that strengthens ecosystems, empowers communities, restores resilience, and creates long-term value. 

 Ending deforestation by 2030, transitioning food systems, strengthening supply chains, and building green economies are all financial challenges and opportunities. Private capital can be redirected toward outcomes that protect and regenerate nature, but this also requires governments to provide clear policy signals, de-risking tools, and regulatory certainty.

 This session is focused on the latest developments that relate to investments into nature-based solutions and, more broadly, into the bioeconomy – the economic model that integrates biological resources into value chains for sustainable development. The aim is to showcase different investment types and different solutions categories from all regions of the world, particularly focusing on Latin America, Asia and Africa – and to encourage connections between investors and projects.
