Nature is becoming more visible and material – the core mission of the Finance for Biodiversity Initiative (F4B) since its inception in 2019. The role of nature in addressing climate, food security and broader sustainable development challenges is also increasingly clear, contributing to the speed at which nature is rising up policy and market agendas.
In October 2022, F4B evolved to the next phase of impact and ambition, to align global finance with nature positive outcomes. It has been established as a Geneva based, Swiss non-profit organisation operating under a new name – NatureFinance.
NatureFinance has taken on a broader vision of making nature count in global finance. Its work spans initiatives that are building and using biodiversity data to better manage nature-related risks, developing purposeful nature markets, advancing financial innovations including in sovereign debt markets, strengthening nature-related liabilities and citizen action on nature.
