3 reasons 2025 is the year for nature-positive finance

January 13, 2025 | World Economic Forum (WEF) |

 

This year 2025 marks a pivotal moment for nature-positive finance as financial institutions increasingly align capital flows with biodiversity goals. Over 194 institutions have signed the Finance for Biodiversity Pledge, recognizing both the economic risks of nature loss—estimated at up to $25 trillion annually—and the long-term value of nature-based solutions. This shift is driven by three key factors: growing global consensus around the Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) and sector-specific guidance; the ability to build on existing climate finance systems with limited new resources; and improved access to high-quality nature data and disclosures through frameworks like Task-force on Nature Related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) and the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). These developments equip institutions to better assess nature-related risks and opportunities. With strong momentum and new tools on the horizon, including a forthcoming evaluation framework from the World Economic Forum, 2025 is positioned to scale high-impact investment and accelerate the transition toward a resilient, nature-positive global economy.
