Nature Solutions Finance Hub for Asia and the Pacific

This project will launch the Nature Solutions Finance (NSF) Hub to specifically focus on catalyzing finance into Nature-based Solutions (NbS) to support nature-based climate actions and biodiversity conservation. Its establishment will be an opportunity to develop innovative solutions to address the intertwined crises of nature and climate. The NSF Hubs goal is to increase investments in NbS projects across Asia and the Pacific by proactively developing scalable and bankable demonstration projects by creating a platform with practical NbS solutions centered around innovative finance approaches. It aims to do this through a partnership approach with global development entities in the nature space along with concessional fund sources who can work together with ADB under a focused roadmap of activities.
