Financing for Nature: Investing in Biodiversity Across the Indo-Pacific Corridor

From dense cities to rainforest coastlines, Asia holds unmatched potential for nature-based infrastructure. This session opens with case studies showing how green-grey hybrids – combining engineered and ecological elements – can be both cost-effective and biodiversity-positive. The focus: scalable designs suited to cities and landscapes across the Indo-Pacific Biodiversity Corridor, from Yunnan to Myanmar, Thailand to Indonesia. A cross-sector panel explores how to bring these projects to life through finance, policy, and partnerships that align infrastructure with nature.
