The Eden Project Partnership
Our partnership with the Eden Project enables collaboration on business-led approaches to nature-based solutionsAccording to Bloomberg, a total investment in nature of USD $1.15 trillion per year will be needed by 2030 to restore and maintain biodiversity, with the gap to this figure standing at $942 billion in 2024.
It is imperative that a broad range of organisations can collaborate across sectors to address this shortfall, combining their specialised skills and perspectives to drive change.
