🌱 Nature and biodiversity are no longer secondary considerations: they are essential to climate resilience, effective risk management, and lasting development impact. In Nordic Climate Dialogues’ third session, we were pleased to welcome Magnus Nyström and Koloina Ramaromandray for two inspiring keynote speeches. Magnus set the scene by exploring the close links between healthy ecosystems, climate resilience and sustainable development, reflecting on what science tells us. He highlighted resilience as the capacity to live and develop with change. It is essential for navigating accelerating risks and requires balancing the capacities to cope, adapt and transform. Investing in resilience today, he noted, helps reduce the costs of tomorrow. Joining us from Miarakap in Madagascar, Koloina first provided an overview of the country, highlighting that seven in ten jobs depend directly on land, forests and the sea. She emphasised the close link between poverty and environmental degradation: "Poverty drives nature loss, and nature loss drives poverty". Koloina stressed the importance of backing bold entrepreneurs and shared practical examples of private sector investments in nature and biodiversity that create jobs while protecting ecosystems. As these businesses depend on healthy ecosystems to thrive, they create a virtuous circle in which economic development and nature conservation reinforce one another. Building on these perspectives, our panel discussed how climate finance can better integrate nature into investment decisions and implementations, and how nature-positive finance can move from principle to practical, investable solutions. 📈🌍 Many thanks to all our speakers and participants for these insightful conversations! #NCD2026 #NordicClimateAction #ClimateFinance
