Innovative finance is creating new opportunities for nature conservation. 🌊 🐢 📊 As an early and catalytic investor, NDF committed EUR 15 million to Climate Investor Two, an innovative blended finance facility focused on climate-resilient infrastructure in emerging markets. Through CI2, NDF helped support the largest debt-for-nature conversion in history, to generate long-term funding for the protection of the Galápagos marine ecosystem. 🌎 This demonstrates how catalytic capital can mobilise private investment and deliver lasting benefits for climate, nature and communities with Nordic and global partners. 🌱 👉 Read more about CI2: https://shorturl.at/KbxFH #BlendedFinance #ClimateFinance #NaturePositive #Biodiversity #SustainableDevelopment #Galapagos

🔸 At the Super Pollutant Reception at St James’s Palace during London Climate Action Week, Satu Santala represented NDF among global leaders from government, finance, business, academia and civil society. During the reception, she met His Majesty King Charles III and shared how NDF operates as a joint Nordic climate finance institution, supporting high-impact climate investments in lower-income countries. 🌍 🔸 Discussions at the reception reinforced a clear and urgent message: tackling super pollutants is one of the most effective levers to slow global warming. Reducing methane and other super pollutants could avoid up to 0.6°C of global warming by 2050, while delivering immediate co-benefits for public health, food systems, and economic resilience. 💡 Prime Minister of Barbados Mia Mottley highlighted the importance of rapid action to protect vulnerable communities, while COP31 President Murat Kurum emphasised methane reduction, zero waste and circular economy solutions as central to an implementation-focused COP31. Thank you for inviting us to take part to these crucial discussions. 🤝 #SustainableDevelopment #ClimateChange #LondonClimateWeek #LCAW2026
