Transforming nature finance for people, nature and climate: IIED’s nature finance strategy, 2025–2030

This strategy lays out our vision for transforming the way that nature finance is delivered and redirected, in support of locally led action for people, nature and climate. It is a five-year strategy, for the period 2025–2030.

The strategy builds on many years of work, draws on a wide breadth of expertise, and recognises that IIED and our partners have multiple offers and asks for nature finance.

The strategy will be implemented by a core group of IIED staff but delivered in close collaboration with teams across the organisation as well as partners around the world. It will be reviewed annually to integrate learnings and adapt to evolving partner priorities and changing external contexts.

This strategy supports IIED’s organisational strategy, 'Manifesto for a thriving world', particularly its emphasis on social justice, decolonisation, anti-racism and gender justice.
