Capital in Nature-Based Solutions Markets

Global ecosystems are facing unprecedented declines, with the Living Planet Index showing a 73% reduction in vertebrate populations since 1970. This ecological loss threatens essential services like air and water quality, food security, and resilience against climate change. To counteract this trend, nature-based solutions (NBS) markets have emerged, driven by advancements in policy, technology, and capital. These markets aim to harness private and public investment to restore ecosystems while delivering environmental benefits. However, scaling these markets requires strategic investments to overcome barriers and unlock their full potential.
