November 15, 2024 12:00 - 13:00

Our event is a panel discussion on how countries and financial institutions can leverage synergies
between nature and climate investments to facilitate policy coherence and integrate financing that
will accelerate net zero nature positive (NZNP) action. This discussion on NZNP finance and
investment aims at increasing the global ambition to achieve targets in Nationally Determined
Contributions (NDCs) for the Paris Agreement and National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans
(NBSAPs) for the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, simultaneously. We will hear
from speakers on –
   - how countries could signal consistency in policy and integrate financing for NDCs and
       NBSAPs,
- how development banks and private financiers can facilitate such efforts through existing
      financing mechanisms and providing incentives, and
- how global initiatives such as NZNP IP, CFMCA, CNCP and NDC Partnerships could support
      integrating climate and biodiversity actions to increase financial flows towards NZNP.
The side-event will contribute to several outputs like press-releases, video, audio and social-media
posts on the key messages of NZNP.
