Financing Nature-Based Solutions in Africa: Strengthening the Investment Environment
Big Room
Panel discussion hosted by FSD Africa which will focus on tackling investment barriers and leveraging rising interest to accelerate financing for nature-based solutions and boost biodiversity and sustainability across Africa.
Despite rising interest in nature and biodiversity investments, financing Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) remains challenging for commercial investors. This session, led by FSD Africa and FSD Africa Investments in collaboration with key stakeholders, addresses critical investment barriers and outlines strategies to accelerate NbS financing. As Africa faces urgent ecological and development pressures, the panel will explore innovative financial mechanisms that support biodiversity restoration and deliver economic and social benefits. By integrating carbon management into NbS, we aim to maximize environmental and climate impacts. This collaborative approach will provide actionable insights to align investments with Africa’s sustainability and development goals.
