Welcome to Invest4Nature’s “NbS Financing Pitch & Match” series, a webinar series in unlocking funding for nature-based solutions (NbS). This dynamic webinar series explores practical ideas for implementing nature-based solutions and matches real-world NbS initiatives in need of funding with innovative financing opportunities.
Each session brings together 1 NbS and 1 funder to spotlight different and innovative financing models for promising NbS endeavours — from public incentives to private investment and blended finance. The goal: to bridge the gap between ambitious green initiatives and the financial solutions that can bring them to life.
Whether you’re developing an NbS project, seeking funding, or exploring ways to support nature-positive investments, this series offers valuable insights to turn ideas into action.
Our first edition was a collaboration with NetworkNature+ and focused on Coastal Restoration in Aarhus, Denmark.
Speakers:

Funding service provider: Andrew Outhwaite, Managing Director & Innovation Commercialization Lead, For Blue
Moderator: Wenting Chen, Senior Economist, Norwegian Institute for Water Research (NIVA)
This edition we are working together with Task Force 3 in Network Nature+. Task Force 3 focuses on exploring NbS finance, investment mechanisms and business models from the perspective of co-creation and co-finance.
