Join our Knowledge Xchange to hear from Gail Gallie (Founder, THE NAT) and Archie Cage (Impact Manager, Tribe Impact Capital) about the underlying barriers towards closing the $700bn+/year Nature Finance gap according to the Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), between funds currently available and the investment needed - in order to finance robust Nature-Based Solutions and fund crucial nature restoration projects to restore and protect nature.
Gail and Archie will also take us through what the THE NAT and Tribe Impact Capital are doing to close this gap, and what it would take to massively scale this to urgently halt and reverse nature loss, and restore and protect nature.

A key part in addressing the polycrisis involves articulating and implementing a plan to restore and dramatically reduce negative impact on nature and biodiversity, by a target date of 2030. Nearly 45% of firms in a major study have said they have already been financially impacted by physical nature-related risks[1]. This Knowledge Xchange will provide insights into the power of communities wanting a nature-positive world in utilising their private capital to drastically close the Nature Finance Gap, to restore and protect nature and biodiversity.
