Nov 2021: Nature 4 Climate Fund revealed at COP26
An exciting week has passed as Natural Strategies Investments was invited by BENELUX-EIB as well as the Global Landscape Forum to the COP26 to present our first impact investment fund concept, the Nature 4 Climate Fund (N4C).
Just in time with the beginning of the UN Decade of Ecosystem Restoration, the N4C fund represents a strong tool to support the private sector transitioning to greener, sustainable practices. To do so, the N4C fund will invest globally across sectors, focusing on nature-based solutions, green commodities and ecosystem restoration.
With our investments, we aim to avoid more than 21M tons CO2e, conserve over 127k ha of forests and increase the livelihoods of 110k+ households in the developing world.

We are very proud of our team as we went through several rounds of selection competing with innovative climate investment funds from around the world.
The acceleration programme will now support us as we push our emerging investment fund, the Nature 4 Climate Fund, towards its launch. A big thanks to ICFA, the Luxembourg financial sector and Government of Luxembourg for their trust.
Next up will be two side events at the Climate Change Conference in Glasgow in November 2021 where we will present our fund and team.

Jul 2021: Natural Strategies co-authors working paper for the G20
Nature-based Solutions (NbS) can help bring ecosystems services back into cities. By doing so, cities can adapt better to climate change and reduce urban heat island effects. However, time is not on our side: Innovative business and finance models that are needed to scale up this action, and quickly. Fortunately, there is a variety of business models that can make NbS commercially viable.
To showcase this, Natural Strategies co-authored this new report that seeks to inspire such action in the G20. It was produced by UNEP in close collaboration with the Italian Presidency of the G20 and published by UNEP in July 2021.

New Natural Strategies investment plan published by UNDP
Papua New Guinea’s biodiversity is exceptionally rich. It is harboured by a network of 62 protected areas - but to manage & conserve this vast area, the Government lacks several million USD annually.
To help close this funding gap, Natural Strategies developed Papua New Guinea’s first ever finance & investment plan for protected areas. On behalf of UNDP and consulting with more than 100 stakeholders, we identified a variety of conventional and innovative financing sources; turned them into a country-wide investment plan; and provided tools and roadmaps to turn it into action.
We thereby seek to increase funding for protected areas across the country.
