The given report is a practical guide for europe including how to access support from the European Investment Bank's dedicated Natural Capital Financing Facility. The main goal is boosting investment for biodiversity, conservation and nature-based adaptation to climate. Biodiversity is the variety of life on earth: the building blocks from which ecosystems - reefs, reedbeds, forests and grasslands - are formed. Humanity depends on the goods and services these ecosystems deliver: from food and fibre to oxygen and clean water. Conservation of biodiversity and ecosystems offer nature-based solutions to climate change - cost-effective, scalable ways to increase the planet’s resilience to temperature rises, natural disasters and other climate extremes, and humanity’s ability to adapt. The NCFF is a dedicated programme to support pioneering conservation and nature-based solutions projects. It consists on the one hand of a flexible finance facility (typically providing direct / intermediated debt or investing in equity funds). On the other hand of a technical assistance support facility (grants for project preparation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation).
