When the balance sheet shows conserving forests is worth more than cutting them down, forests win. So what if finance could be rewired to reward standing forests rather than clearing them? That’s the bold vision behind the Tropical Forest Forever Facility (TFFF). And as Kirsten Schuijt argues in Context Newsroom, the time to act is now.  Read more → https://lnkd.in/exhQweDs #Climate #Forests #SustainableFinance

A decade ago, then-Governor of the Bank of England, @Mark Carney, delivered his landmark "Tragedy of the Horizon" speech—highlighting the systemic financial risks posed by climate change.   Today, we join 54 leading climate & nature finance institutions from across Australia, Canada, the UK, US, EU, Asia, and South America in urging central banks and prudential supervisors to reflect on the lessons of the past decade. While climate risk management and supervision have evolved, as we mark this anniversary, the tragedy remains unresolved — and is, in fact, deepening. Financing that fuels climate change has continued, and also contributes to nature loss in critical ecosystems, raising the risk of ecosystem collapse and systemic threats to the global economy. Nature loss is a major financial risk that must be addressed alongside climate change.   We are calling for bold, meaningful financial reforms to safeguard global financial stability and avoid the risk of future systemic collapse.   🔗 Read the full statement: https://lnkd.in/e62udrVF 🔗 Join our webinar on 29 September at 17.00h CET: https://lnkd.in/eckHezfH   #climatefinance #ecosystemtippingpoints #naturepositive #climatechange #centralbanks #financialsupervision #wwfgreeningfinance

🙌 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 & 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 🙌 To accelerate and scale the flow of capital into the world’s most vital natural place, WWF US this week launched a new Nature Finance & Investment (NFI) strategy at Climate Week 2025 in New York. 🦎 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗴𝗮𝗽💲 Every dollar spent on conservation generates long-term returns for communities, businesses, and the natural resources that sustain them. And yet, the world is currently investing only about 20% of what’s needed to safeguard ecosystems and the rich variety of life they support. The shortfall - the 'nature finance gap' - is estimated at around $900 billion every year. 💚 𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗴𝗮𝗽 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 💚 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀: Companies may pledge to eliminate deforestation from their supply chains, but farmers often lack the resources to make that shift. With financing, producers can adopt sustainable practices that keep forests standing while maintaining livelihoods. 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲-𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Entrepreneurs are developing products and services with the potential to drive rapid progress on the most pressing environmental challenges of our time. Without access to long-term, patient capital, many never reach scale. Targeted investment can unlock innovations that deliver both economic and environmental benefits. 𝗧𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗲𝗯𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆: Governments may want to conserve critical ecosystems and grow eco-tourism, but debt burdens can crowd out those investments. Debt restructuring tied to conservation commitments frees up funding to protect nature while supporting economic stability. 𝗨𝗻𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗲𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀: Communities or governments wanting to restore or protect large areas often face years of slow fundraising. By securing payments for the environmental outcomes—like carbon storage, clean water, or protecting key species—these efforts can unlock upfront capital, enabling restoration and protection at greater scale and speed.
