Bridging the financing gap for nature: Moving from intention to scaled action

Tuesday 20 January 2026 19:30-21:30 CET

OCEAN ROOM

A dinner to discuss barriers and build partnerships.

We know what nature needs (thanks to the Biodiversity Framework). We know the price tag (between 700B and 1.5T USD/yr). And we’ve seen promising—yet fragmented—projects across conservation, restoration, and sustainable management. Now it’s time to move beyond individual and bespoke actions.

To truly bend the curve on nature loss, we need coordinated, large-scale, integrated approaches that deliver financial, climate, and nature returns.

Key themes we’ll tackle:

· Keep structures simple while embracing real-world complexity

· Turn diverse actions into diversified income streams aligned with nature goals

· Design systemic, integrated solutions that work for capital and the planet

Sponsored by InTent, in partnership with Conservation International and EcoAdvisors, this dinner will spotlight scalable models, surface actionable examples, and catalyze partnerships to drive material progress by 2030.

Our three panels will explore:

· Nature-positive production across agriculture, food systems, mining, and restoration

· Monetizing nature-positive outcomes from owned and leased land

· Innovative models for communal lands that preserve sovereignty while sharing benefits
