The Financing Nature report, published in 2020, is a collaboration between Cornell University, the Paulson Institute, and the Nature Conservancy. The Report addresses the economic case for protecting nature and quantifies the financing gap between the current capital flows towards biodiversity and the funds needed to sustainably manage biodiversity and maintain ecosystems. It elucidates nine financial policy mechanisms that may play a role in closing this gap, highlighting the need for stakeholder collaboration and appropriate valuation.
