The Global BioChallenge to mobilize large-scale investment for nature-based growth by 2028 was quietly launched at last month’s COP30 in Belém, Brazil.

From aquaculture to the rise of technology, we look at how impact investors are trying to make a positive difference.
Impact investing in agriculture may have been slow off the mark – investors have only recently taken an interest – but this expanding sector has a key role to play in reducing emissions, improving food security and strengthening livelihoods.
