This report assesses current global investment in nature-based solutions (NbS) and estimates future investment needs to meet biodiversity, climate change, and land restoration targets. It finds that approximately USD 133 billion/year currently flows into NbS, predominantly from public funds. The report emphasizes the critical need to triple investments by 2030 and increase them four-fold by 2050 to reach global environmental goals, which would amount to a cumulative total investment of up to USD 8.1 trillion. It provides recommendations and identifies opportunities to scale up financing for NbS.
