dc.description	This summary for decision-makers outlines how annual global finance flows of almost seven trillion United States dollars directly damage nature, significantly outpacing the two hundred billion United States dollars invested yearly in nature-based solutions. This publication tracks financial flows to determine the investment required to maximize the potential of nature-based solutions against climate, biodiversity, and land degradation challenges. The scope covers both public and private sectors, revealing that private nature-negative flows represent five trillion United States dollars annually, while public harmful subsidies reached one point seven trillion United States dollars. To meet international targets, funding for nature-based solutions must nearly triple by 2030. The document concludes that realigning harmful financial flows alongside scaling up green investments is essential to halt nature loss.	en
