<abstract displayLabel="Summary">The report examines how to mobilize capital for the protection and restoration of nature through 37 financial solutions, prioritizing 10 for their potential scale and impact: sustainable bonds and loans (linked to objectives or thematic), impact funds, natural asset companies, environmental credits, debt-for-nature swaps, payments for ecosystem services, and internal pricing mechanisms. It emphasizes that nature remains undervalued and that, despite the growth of private financing (over $102 billion in four years), barriers persist such as fragmented data, lack of standardization, and risk perception. To overcome these challenges, it proposes five enabling actions: standardize metrics, strengthen structures and risk mitigation mechanisms, expand the portfolio of bankable projects, create stable regulatory environments, and change market incentives to recognize nature's full value. The report concludes that integrating nature into financial systems is key to economic resilience and achieving global goals such as the Kunming-Montreal Biodiversity Framework</abstract>
