This session explores how capital markets can direct private finance to nature, with a focus on action towards Target 19 Financial Resources of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. Participants will be introduced to two key instruments, use of proceeds bonds and sustainability-linked bonds, and gain insight into development of nature finance market guidance, including IFC's Biodiversity Finance Reference Guide, the MDB Common Nature Finance Taxonomy, and the International Capital Market Association's (ICMA) Bonds for Nature: A Practitioner's Guide.

A financial institution will then present a real-world nature bond case study, sharing the mechanics behind the issuance, lessons learned, and enabling stakeholder support. The session will conclude with an interactive discussion exploring how nature bonds can serve as a scalable solution across diverse geographic and institutional contexts.
