To date, efforts to deliver a just transition to a net zero economy have focused on the energy system. However, the imperative of decent work and social inclusion applies equally to sectors that affect and are affected by nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This report defines a ‘just nature transition’ as a shift to a net zero and climate-resilient economy that delivers decent work, social inclusion and the eradication of poverty while simultaneously delivering biodiversity goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The authors explore how the financial sector can support positive outcomes for the just transition, focusing on four priority areas: delivering sustainable agriculture and food systems; ending deforestation; scaling up nature-based solutions; and restoring ocean ecosystems (see figure below). Examples of early-stage financial practice in these areas are provided throughout, such as from Climate Action 100+, the Investor Initiative for Sustainable Forests, Rabobank and the UNEP Sustainable Blue Economy Finance Initiative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
