Our current assessment of USD 31 trillion of global financial flows indicates significant misalignment with nature positive frameworks with less than 13% of flows found to be strongly aligned with nature.
- Where our data is most granular and comprehensive – development finance – the picture is worse: only 6% of flows are strongly aligned with nature.
- Private flows are least aligned in relation to major economies which have high levels of nature assets, notably China, India, South Africa, and Malaysia
This status quo underpins the case for the Tool to expose the current degree of alignment of finance with nature and understand where action is most needed at the country and sector level to advance global efforts to restore and regenerate nature.
