Restoring nature is one of the most effective solutions to tackling the climate and nature crises. veritree is helping to close the financing gap for the world to meet its climate change, biodiversity and land degradation targets.
Climate change and nature loss are threatening the future of our planet.
At 1.2 degree Celsius of warming, we are already experiencing devastating impacts of the climate crisis first-hand. Brutal heat waves, vicious wildfires, historic drought, and record breaking storms. At the current pace, the world is on track to exceed the 1.5°C warming threshold in the early 2030s.
The rate of global change in nature in the past 50 years is unprecedented. 75% of the land surface is significantly altered and over 85% of wetlands has been lost. Biodiversity is declining faster than at any time in human history.
Nature can be restored while simultaneously achieving our global climate and biodiversity societal goals. Meaningful actions must be taken today to restore the planet.

Over half of the world’s global GDP, $44 trillion is dependent on nature. Nature loss poses a significant hidden risk and potential liabilities to corporations.
Reporting and disclosure requirements on corporate’s dependencies and impacts on nature and biodiversity are emerging, notably:
The Taskforce on Nature-Related Financial Disclosures (TNFD 2021)
Science-Based Target for Nature (2023)
CDP Biodiversity Disclosure Guidelines (2023)
Global Reporting Initiative Biodiversity Standards (2023)
Nature-based disclosure and performance requirements are predicted to increase.
By 2050, a $8.1 trillion investment into nature is required if the world is to meet its climate change, biodiversity, and land degradation targets.
