NbS Finance for a Just Transition to a Nature Positive Economy

Effective policies can mobilize finance and business action, accelerating the uptake of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) as vital pathways to address multiple societal, environmental and economic challenges. 

NetworkNature's ‘Sustainable Finance, Investment and Just Transition’ theme focuses on how targeted policies and legal frameworks can unlock private finance, building ready-to-invest Nature-based Solutions (NbS) project pipelines, and support operationalising/implementing these projects effectively. 

NetworkNature helps businesses, investors, and financial institutions understand how nature can help them align with, and respond to, EU policies like the European Green Deal, the EU Taxonomy, and the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR). The NetworkNature website provides resources to help meet compliance requirements, unlock finance and scale Nature-based Solutions.
