Ancient Brazil Nut Tree in the Amazon Rainforest near Alta Floresta, Brazil

Nature is fundamental to climate stability, economic prosperity, and human well-being, yet the financing needed to protect and restore ecosystems remains far below what is required.

CPI helps governments, financial institutions, investors, and development partners design policy reforms and scale finance solutions that mobilize capital for biodiversity, natural resource conservation, sustainable bioeconomies, and nature-based solutions. Drawing on our deep expertise across policy effectiveness, financial analysis, and capital mobilization, we identify barriers to investment, develop practical financing mechanisms, and guide the enabling conditions needed to channel funding toward high-impact conservation and restoration efforts.

As biodiversity loss, ecosystem degradation, and climate risks increasingly threaten economies and communities, CPI is helping create pathways to a nature-positive future that delivers lasting environmental, social, and economic value.
