Investing in Nature: Unlocking Resilience and Returns

29 Apr 2026
Main Stage
Resilience & Adaptation

More than half of global GDP depends on nature, yet its degradation continues at alarming rates, threatening both economic stability and climate progress. Investing in nature is no longer an option for governments, companies and financiers, who by doing so can build nature-positive business models, which unlock both resilience and long-term environmental and financial returns.
While nature is climbing higher on the climate agenda, the scale of policy support, private finance, and corporate action still falls far short of what is required.

  • How do we close the gap between ambition and action on nature finance?

  • What competitive advantages await companies that embrace nature-positive models?

  • How can blended finance and partnerships scale investment in restoration and protection?
