Total Investments in Nature of USD 8.4 Trillion needed by 2050

Investments in NbS need to triple by 2030 and increase four-fold by 2050 to meet the USD 4.1 trillion gap (assuming the current annual investment of USD 133/billion remains constant).

Biodiversity Loss could be stopped for just USD 25 per person

Over half of future financing needs relate to forested lands.

Annual forest-related investments of USD 203 billion would halt biodiversity loss by 2050, which is just under 25 dollars for each person on Earth in 2021.

Private finance directed to NbS (14%) must be scaled up

Scaling up private investments is a central challenge, since current NbS finance relies heavily on public sources (86%).

Strengthening NbS finance means putting nature at the heart of all economic decision-making.

Incentives include:

  • government tax breaks
  • repurposed agricultural policies
  • trade-related tariffs
  • subsidies
  • NbS standardization
  • De-risking investments
