About:

Private capital is increasingly recognized as essential to closing the global financing gap for climate and biodiversity, but the market for investing in nature is still taking shape. Where do things stand today, and what signals are emerging about where capital will flow next?

Drawing on global data from a new report in a multi-year benchmark series by The Nature Conservancy and Forest Trends, this session will map how private capital for nature has evolved, where it is currently being deployed and where momentum is building. A senior panel of capital providers will explore persistent barriers, including pipeline, risk-return dynamics, and enabling policy drivers, and highlight where innovation and collaboration are unlocking new opportunities.

Designed for decision-makers across the financial spectrum, this session offers a clear snapshot of the market today and practical insight into how private capital can scale in the years ahead.
