1. Public finance for natural capital
In principle, we know what to do to increase public finance…
Scrutinize needs and identify the real ones
Enhance efficiency of policy delivery and policy coherence (including EFR; addressing harmful subsidies)
New financial tools (approx. 100 in BIOFIN database)
…but face obstacles…
Political economy
Competing priorities
Trade-offs or perceived trade-offs? Change perceptions?

2. Public finance for natural capital
Recommendations
Build new alliances (ministries of finance), building on emerging issues (disaster risk reduction)
Change the discourse/narrative and taylor the language to the audience: NC to offer nature-based solutions for the problems of the country
Use opportunities for enabling public investments to leverage private finance
Exploit opportunities for synergies more systematically and more proactively (e.g. biodiversity and land degradation agendas)
