The Nature Investment Hub is leading a national, inter-disciplinary and inclusive process on what we need to collectively do to grow the value of the domestic nature finance market to 25 billion per year by 2030. This figure represents a fivefold increase in capital allocation to nature from public, private, philanthropic and Indigenous-owned capital pools (hence 5X for Nature).
Through a series of virtual consultative tables that will run until Spring 2026, we are focusing on asset holders and financial vehicles with the best chances of liberating capital for nature, while being attuned to the specific market and socio-political realities in Canada.
The resulting roadmap will then be shared with the nature finance ecosystem to prioritize key data, capacity development, market infrastructure and enabling actions that will drive capital allocation to nature through to 2030 and beyond. These efforts are expected to go some way in enabling Canada to achieve targets and actions set out in the 2030 National Biodiversity Strategy.
For 5X for Nature to be a powerful tool for coordinated action, it requires buy-in from across the nature finance ecosystem. This is only possible if it is informed by technical experts and others who are currently engaged in and thinking about nature finance, and who are experiencing both challenges and windows of opportunity to advance their own work in order to help articulate the vision of what is needed to scale action. Nature Investment Hub Partners are those who have already signalled their interest and commitment to accelerating credible and just investment into nature, and are positioned to be leaders in this process.
