dc.description	The 2026 edition of the State of Finance for Nature (SFN) highlights the urgent need to get the wheel turning on the ‘Big Nature Turnaround’. SFN provides evidence and analysis that supports policy makers, businesses, financiers and civil society to make informed decisions about investing in NbS and reducing nature-negative capital flows. SFN provides up-to-date information to take stock and detect trends in public and private investment in NbS in the context of systemic capital shifts needed to meet global goals on biodiversity, climate and ecosystems. New to SFN 2026 is the Nature Transition X-curve which identifies activities that must be phased out and what can be scaled up to begin the Big Nature Turnaround’.	en
