Advancing nature-climate financing requires a united effort from policymakers, financial institutions, and private sector actors. Strengthening collaboration between private financial firms and international financing institutions can leverage resources and expertise to drive sustainable investments. Moreover, enabling policy frameworks and regulatory incentives within EU context and other regions is crucial to incentivise private finance participation in climate and nature initiatives. By taking these actions, we can pave the way for a resilient and sustainable future, where nature-climate financing plays a pivotal role in addressing the pressing challenges of our time. The University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL), aims to convene this critical conversation at COP28 and identify key actions to mobilising private finance for climate and nature financing in the international financing architecture. Within CISL, the Centre for Sustainable Finance, Corporate Leaders Groups (CLG UK and CLG EU) and the Green Growth partnership (GGPT) teams have come together to build momentum around the role of private financial firms in international nature-climate financing. The purpose of uniting critical stakeholders from the financial sector, policymakers, and other entities is to foster collaborations and instigate meaningful change in the international financing landscape.
