> The findings are based on an analysis of global financial flows, revealing that private nature-negative finance flows amount to US$5 trillion annually, 140 times larger than the US$35 billion of private investments in nature-based solutions. The five industries channeling most of the negative financial flows – construction, electric utilities, real estate, oil and gas, and food and tobacco – represent 16% of overall investment flows in the economy but 43% of nature-negative flows associated with the destruction of forests, wetlands, and other natural habitats.
