Growing the Green: Why and how restoration finance needs to quadruple by 2030

This report supports the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration by examining current financial flows into restoration and the funding gap that must be closed to scale up impact.

It focuses on nature-based solutions (NbS) such as regenerative agriculture and forest and landscape restoration, key strategies to halt and reverse ecosystem degradation.

Through practical examples like planting native species, restoring rivers, reintroducing wildlife and climate-smart farming, the report shows how restoration boosts biodiversity, strengthens ecosystem health, and builds resilience to climate change.
