About the webinar series
The NbS Financing Pitch & Match series brings together NbS cases and funders to spotlight different and innovative financing models for promising NbS endeavours - from public incentives to private investment and blended finance.
It aims to:
- Bridge the Gap Between Endeavours and Investors: Facilitate connections between institutions with NbS endeavours (e.g. administrations, SMEs) and seeking funding, and financial institutions interested in NbS projects.
- Drive Investment and Scale: By connecting stakeholders and providing real-world examples, we aim to increase investment in NbS, supporting the EU Nature Restoration Act and sustainability reporting initiatives.
- Leveraging cooperation and synergy: By working together with related projects and initiatives, we aim to maximize impact and outreach for NbS cases that are still in need of financing.
Whether you're developing an NbS project, seeking funding, or exploring ways to support nature-positive investments, this series offers valuable insights to turn ideas into action.
