The Finance for Nature training offered an enriching learning journey. Engaging with expert insights, collaborating with colleagues from diverse backgrounds, and participating in practical exercises have equipped me with the skills to effectively navigate the complexities of the finance-nature interface.

This training has been an enriching experience that significantly enhanced my understanding of the global challenges related to sustainable development.

This certification, has boosted my credibility as a change agent and opened doors to exciting collaborations with stakeholders committed to biodiversity conservation.

I thoroughly enjoyed the course.

It really was terrific to have the opportunity to work through the principles of NbS and application of the Global Standard (GS) with practitioners from a wide range of backgrounds from across the globe.  As an ecologist, it was really insightful to see how multifaceted NbS’s are and how each of the 8 criteria in the GS help build a better product for biodiversity conservation.

We applied critical analysis of the case studies and the content had the right balance in volume of information for someone doing this part-time.

After the course I felt extremely motivated in shaping my learning into real life situations, knowing that improving finance solutions for nature protection and regeneration is at a nascent stage of its development.

I had the pleasure of joining the team for the first edition of this insightful course led by highly skilled and professional trainers. I’m sure that what I learned will be a great added value for my future work and research commitments.
