Scaling Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) in Brazil
The Nature Investment Lab (NIL) is a laboratory created to attract and scale investments in Nature-Based Solutions (NBS).
It brings together the private sector, finance, government, and civil society to drive impactful climate investments and actions in regenerative agriculture, forest restoration and the bioeconomy.
NIL was founded by Banco do Brasil, BNDES, GFANZ, iCS, and Instituto Itaúsa, with Climate Ventures as its executive secretariat.
This laboratory serves as your gateway to discover, support, and scale positive solutions for nature that benefit people and the planet.
Our goal is to bridge the gap between financial investments, conservation, and nature restoration — fostering collaboration, innovation, and viable projects. We work alongside diverse stakeholders — investors, policymakers, communities, and innovators — to collectively advance the transition toward a more sustainable, resilient, and low-carbon economy.
