Nurturing Innovative Investment In Nature: Nine Recommendations Across Finance And Facilitation

Policy Brief Matthew Stephenson, Brittaney Warren

Nature-based solutions are an integral part of meeting climate and sustainable development goals. Nine innovative measures can help, including related to (1) disclosure standards, (2) financial information, (3) debt-for-nature swaps, (4) inclusive and transparent processes, (5) increasing nature-based funding, (6) support for nature-based enterprises, (7) including nature considerations in environmental impact assessments, (8) connecting multinational nature commitments to specific projects, and aligning incentives behind nature-based goals. The G20 can advance this agenda by adopting individual and collective measures that recognize and unlock the potential of a nature- friendly economy to drive a new generation of economic growth.
