I en ny rapport konkluderer FN, at der fra 2025 årligt skal investeres $384 mia. i klima- og biodiversitetsprojekter, hvis verdensmålene på disse områder skal nås. De nuværende årlige investeringer er $154 milliarder, hvorved det vil kræve mere end en fordobling i investeringer fra 2025 at nå målene.
Rapporten udkommer blot en uge før FN’s biodiversitetskonference COP15, hvor en aftale, som har til hensigt at bremse tab af biodiversitet, forventes at blive vedtaget.
FN appellerer til private investorer, som kun står for 17 % af de totale årlige investeringer på området: ”While philanthropic capital and carbon markets have grown significantly between the SFN 2021 report and this edition, impact investment and investment in sustainable supply chains have increased very little. This is in stark contrast to the myriad of net zero and deforestationfree commitments made by agri-food companies, banks and investors, which have seen too little action and too little capital deployed. Voluntary business commitments without a time-bound plan or roadmap for implementation are not acceptable.”
Jochen Flasbarth, State Secretary i Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), udtaler: “While the world is enduring multiple crises, this report provides clarity: It shows that, by significantly increasing public and private investments in nature-based solutions, it is possible to tackle climate change, biodiversity loss and land degradation – and at the same time harness many societal and economic benefits. We need to act now.”
