The United Nations Environment Programme recently released the "State of Nature Finance 2026" report in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, calling for a significant increase in investment in nature conservation through "nature based solutions" to address crises such as climate change, habitat loss, and environmental pollution. The report states that nearly half of global economic activity is highly dependent on natural resources, and in order to achieve sustainable development, investments in nature based solutions need to increase to $571 billion per year by 2030, to protect biological habitats, address climate change threats, and more. Governments and businesses around the world need to develop corresponding policies to unleash investment potential. Report data warns that in 2023, $7.3 trillion of global funds will be used for activities that have a negative impact on nature, such as fossil fuel subsidies; Compared to this, the investment in nature based solutions is only $220 billion. Nature based solutions refer to actions taken to address social challenges such as climate change and biodiversity loss by protecting, restoring, and sustainably managing nature or improving ecosystems, with the aim of synergistically enhancing human well-being and ecological benefits. Inge Anderson, Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme, said, "We must either invest in destroying nature or promote its restoration - there is no middle ground." She called for reshaping the global financial system to ensure that investment activities have a positive impact on nature. (New Society)
