This presentation provided a concise exploration of global biodiversity finance, drawing from the Financing Nature initiative led by the Paulson Institute. It highlighted the growing biodiversity financing gap, the international commitments under the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, and the urgent need to align public and private financial flows with nature-positive outcomes. The key messages emphasized the interconnectedness of the climate and nature crises, the importance of reforming harmful subsidies, and the role of strong government signals in unlocking large-scale private sector investment. The presentation concluded with a call to direct adaptation finance toward natural infrastructure solutions that deliver resilience, biodiversity protection, and community benefits.
