According to upcoming regulations and strategies in the EU to promote biodiversity, there will be requirements to invest in nature and accelerate Nature-based Solutions (NbS). This is a new investment area and will require more robustness through qualified assessments based on the IUCN Global Standard™ for NbS and a marketplace for solutions and investors.I4N PROVIDES SUPPORT TO FINANCE AND ACCELERATE NBS CREATING NATURE-POSITIVE IMPACT IN THE FOLLOWING FOCUS AREAS:
