Investing in nature means investing in people.
Over 60 million people currently work in sectors using nature-based solutions. With targeted investments, that number could grow by 32 million.

In 2024, all glaciated regions on Earth lost ice for the third consecutive year.
That’s 450 Gt gone: enough to fill 180 million Olympic swimming pools.
This added 1.2 mm to global sea levels.

Nature provides an ideal space to exercise or meditate; it improves the nutritional quality of the food we eat; and just being near green spaces can lower your systemic stress levels and reduce overall mortality risks. So let's take care of nature by *not* launching ourselves into space.
