Investments in nature will decide our future
Investing in nature is essential to addressing the intertwined crises of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution while fostering global economic resilience.

Given the escalating climate crisis, multilateral lenders must urgently adopt an approach to development aid that emphasises prevention. By incorporating structural vulnerabilities into their allocation formulas, the World Bank and others can strengthen poor countries' resilience and increase fairness, efficiency, and transparency.
