The UN Environment Programme’s (UNEP) 2023 ‘ State of Finance for Nature ’ report suggested that investments in nature-based solutions (NbS) to date have been underwhelming. Worse even: almost US$7 trillion are invested globally each year in activities that have a negative impact on nature – the equivalent to 7% of the global GDP.
