Force of Nature: Closing the Finance Gap for Nature-based Solutions

The Climate Investment Funds (CIF) invites you to a high-level dialogue around strategies to ramp up finance for nature-based solutions to the climate crisis in developing countries, where they are needed most. 

The nature finance gap is expansive. According to the United Nations, annual nature investments from G20 nations alone need to increase by an additional $165 billion per year—an increase of 140% from existing levels—to realize biodiversity, land restoration and climate targets by 2050.  
 
Nature-based solutions are good for climate and good for the economy. Sustainable agriculture and forest management, including measures such as agroforestry, could deliver over $2 trillion per year in economic benefits, generate millions of jobs in developing countries, and improve food security. 

During this event CIF will unveil the first group of countries to benefit from our new Nature, People, and Climate investment program.
