The role of governments in Mobilizing Private Investment in Nature Protection and Restoration

Location: Small Room

Organizers: World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD)

Building on the ongoing work around Nature-based Solutions, this discussion will focus on creating the enabling environment to finance the gap on nature while building business resilience.

This multistakeholder dialogue will bring together policymakers, business leaders, and NGOs to tackle one of sustainability’s challenges: closing the finance gap for Nature-based Solutions. Building on ongoing NbS initiatives, the session will explore how to create an enabling environment that unlocks investment while strengthening business resilience. With representatives from the policy, corporates, and NGOs, the workshop aims to align the right actors around practical pathways to scale nature finance.
