Financing a Sustainable Global Bioeconomy

Financing a Sustainable Global Bioeconomy, released Sept 12, 2024, is a landscape analysis of the current and prospective interplay between finance and the bioeconomy authored by NatureFinance and the World Bioeconomy Forum, with the support of dozens of civil society organizations – including the Igarapé Institute. It builds on two key pieces of work contributed to the G20 Bioeconomy Initiative, created by the Brazilian G20 Presidency earlier this year.

 

The growing recognition of the importance of the bioeconomy is exemplified by Brazil’s decision to establish the G20 Initiative on Bioeconomy as part of its G20 Presidency, the prioritization of finance and the bioeconomy set out by the Colombian Presidency of the forthcoming United Nations Biodiversity Conference of the Parties of the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP16), and hopefully the continued place of the bioeconomy in key policy platforms going forward, including the G20 under South Africa’s Presidency and COP30 chaired by Brazil, both in 2025.
