Catalysts, Collaborations, and Bottlenecks to Financing for NbS
9:00 AM - 10:30 AM GMT (5:00 AM - 6:30 AM EST)
Livestream at Nature4Climate 

Obtaining both public and private finance for NbS is a key barrier for upscaling existing efforts, even though it has been demonstrated that NbS are considered to be more cost-effective as compared to other mitigation measures. The panel addresses concerns related to navigating a complex network of institutions to mobilize finance for large-scale NbS in India, Brazil, and South Africa, where there have been indications of climate finance to be insufficient for meeting the NDC pledges.
