It is estimated that the financial flows into global biodiversity conservation are currently between US$ 124 and US$ 143 billion, while the amount needed to reverse the decline in biodiversity by 2030 is approximately US$ 722-967 billion each year. This financing gap of somewhere between US$ 598-824 billion per year is mainly expected to be financed by government and large financial institutions. However, impact investors, family offices and foundations also have a large role to play. 

In this event, Mana Impact will be sharing some of the key findings from the recent report, ‘Catalysing Nature-based Solutions: Perspectives and Practices for Developing High-Quality Projects,’ introduce some of the key factors that distinguish a high-quality nature-based project and some of the key challenges and opportunities in investing in nature-based solutions. Lastly, we will also be showcasing two specific nature-based investment opportunities: 1) Blue Revolution Fund and 2) Fairventures.
