NO The State of Finance for Nature in Cities 2024 report: From Grey to Green: Better data to finance nature in cities, highlights the need for better data and tools to help cities integrate Nature based Solutions (NbS) into their financial and planning frameworks. The report showcases how investments in urban nature can support cities in addressing climate change, biodiversity loss, and land degradation, with global NbS financing needing to rise from USD 200 billion to USD 542 billion by 2030. Through case studies and an innovative Urban NbS Framework, this report guides cities on how to track, budget, and scale their investments in nature, offering a path toward greener, more resilient urban futures.
