The Global Alliance for a Sustainable Planet is an international collaborative effort focused on identifying champions; incubating ideas with catalytic potential; leveraging private finance at mega-scale for public good; and garnering lessons learned and replicating success on a planetary scale. Climate change poses a direct threat to all life on Earth. Its impacts are being felt earlier and with greater intensity than ever before in recorded history. The latest IPCC Report predicts an increasing possibility of the planet reaching 1.5°C of global warming above pre-industrial levels by 2030. The top 300 pension funds in the world manage about US$18 trillion in assets. Just 5% of these funds being earmarked for nature positive investments would release US$900 billion for long term investments in nature-based solutions with transformative impact. While there are several significant supply side conversations (Principles of Responsible Investment, Principles of Responsible Banking, and the Net-Zero Asset Owners Alliance to name a few) currently underway, there is hardly any credible demand side effort to develop shovel-ready nature-positive projects with system-scale potential to absorb the benefits of a shifting financial landscape. The Global Alliance for a Sustainable Planet is an international collaborative effort focused on identifying champions; incubating ideas with catalytic potential; leveraging private finance at mega-scale for public good; and garnering lessons learned and replicating success on a planetary scale.
