About the Virtual Event


Join us for an event on the sidelines of UNGA 77 in New York where Devex — in partnership with FinDev Canada, Pollination and ANZ — will show how private investors and development finance institutions hold the power to protect, sustainably manage, and restore ecosystems through investments in nature-based solutions.

Investors are now coming under increasing scrutiny over how far their investments support a pathway to net-zero, particularly in low- and middle-income countries that often bear the highest burden of climate impacts. Private investors and development finance institutions have an opportunity to participate meaningfully in the funding of nature-based projects in these markets and expand access to bankable solutions.

The financing of nature-based solutions requires collaboration across a diverse set of partners, including the public and private sector, conservation organizations, commercial and impact investors, donors, and many more.

Register for the event if you’re interested in:
• Uncovering practical recommendations for investors looking to invest long term in nature-based solutions.
• How development finance institutions can play a catalytic role in both crowding in more private capital and facilitating the deployment of capital in more challenging country settings.
• Best practices from FinDev Canada, Pollination and ANZ, and lessons learned.

Save your spot to join us online to discuss how investments in nature-based solutions hold the key to a clearer path to net zero.
