Global environmental damage spending far exceeds restoration efforts, UNEP warns, urging major investment and policy shifts.
At the 2026 World Sustainable Development Summit, UNEP’s Dechen Tsering warned that global spending on environmental degradation is 30 times higher than funding for nature restoration, with $7.3 trillion invested in nature-negative activities versus $220 billion in nature-positive efforts in 2023.
She stressed the need to increase global investment to at least 0.5% of GDP, calling for systemic financial reforms, including redirecting harmful subsidies and boosting private sector involvement.
Tsering highlighted nature-based solutions like reforestation as vital for resilience, food security, and public health, citing Norway and Indonesia’s UN-REDD efforts as progress examples.
