On November 25, against the backdrop of Canada’s first‐ever Canada Climate Week Xchange, the Nature Investment Hub and Realize Capital Partners co-convened The Nature Pitch: Funding the Future of Nature-Based Climate Solutions in Canada – a half-day gathering focused on advancing investable solutions for nature. The event was generously hosted by TELUS in Toronto.

The Nature Pitch event was designed to build awareness of emerging trends in the nature finance market in Canada and to showcase investment models and concepts that require financial capital to scale. Yet, as many of us know, a necessary condition for market-building is also human and social capital: the exchange of knowledge and the relationships that carry these models forward.

With 75 individuals in the room, we felt the richness of these multiple forms of capital coming together. With this reflection in mind – and for those who were not able to join us – we revisit the flow of the event and the breadth of voices that shaped the conversation, and also share 10 takeaways.
