The Summit will bring together delegates from around the world including ministers, environment groups, First Nations peoples, business, scientists and community leaders, to consider how to supercharge investment in projects that repair nature. The Summit will highlight how clear and consistent rules will enable businesses to invest in and measure projects that repair nature. Delegates will also consider how to support developing nations, boost First Nations partnership in nature repair and improve policies to increase investment in nature.
