Nature is everyone’s business — and finance can be its fundamental ally. 🌿 Proud to contribute to the A-Track: Scaling Finance for Nature report by Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL) — exploring how to unlock private capital for a nature-positive economy. The research highlights barriers holding back finance for nature — from data gaps to fragmented policy — and sets out pathways to embed nature into every financial decision. By breaking down barriers and reframing value, we can build a financial system that works with nature, not against it. Real progress will mean aligning finance, business, and policy to value nature as the wellbeing asset it truly is. #NatureFinance #SustainableFinance #FinanceForNature #NaturePositive #ImpactFinance
