Many of the tools to protect nature already exist. Needed now is strong leadership to expand these glimmers of hope into large-scale strategies adopted worldwide—before ecological & economic losses reach a point that no amount of financing can reverse. www.paulsoninstitute.org/conservation...

Financing Nature 2026, PI's new report with The Nature Conservancy and WWF, focuses on the actions needed to implement and scale proven approaches: www.paulsoninstitute.org/conservation...

Growth remains insufficient compared to flows driving nature loss.

The challenge isn't lack of financing mechanisms, but failure to integrate nature into economic decisions, reform harmful incentives, & create the enabling conditions needed to scale proven approaches and attract capital to nature.

What is required now is strong leadership to expand these glimmers of hope into large-scale strategies adopted around the world—before ecological and economic losses reach a point that no amount of financing can reverse, writes Hank Paulson: www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

The policy challenge is one of translation: converting avoided losses into present economic value that existing financial frameworks can recognize, price, and finance.

The opportunity is clear: Align climate finance and nature finance. Scale investments that deliver both. The transition we need isn't just low-carbon; it’s also nature-positive.

Worse, climate financing is often poorly aligned with biodiversity goals, which can cause climate investments to inadvertently undercut nature conservation. This is a misallocation of capital, because you cannot solve climate change problems without investing in nature. youtu.be/bEC9qhoOUO0?...

This matters well beyond China. Its environmental policies have implications for global markets, supply chains, investment, and the world’s ability to address climate change and nature loss.

Governments must move first, building the policy frameworks, standards, and demand signals that make adaptation investable.

PI's Green Finance Center examines why climate adaptation is hard to finance and the policy foundations that can make it investable: www.paulsoninstitute.org/green-financ...
