Experts agree that the world needs $700bn annually to restore nature, but the funding source remains uncertain, leading to anger over rich countries failing to pay their share.
As representatives from nearly 200 countries gather in Colombia for the United Nations COP16 biodiversity summit, funding and distribution are a key battleground.
That is why, during the 7th Investment Case Symposium organized by the Global Landscapes Forum on 25 October 2024 in Cali, Colombia, the CGIAR Environmental and Biodiversity Impact Platform, the CGIAR Initiative on Livestock and Climate, Sustainable Investments for Large Scale Rangeland Restoration and several partners hosted a session that highlighted the importance of thriving multifunctional landscapes in achieving the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework global vision of a world living in harmony with nature by 2050.
