“Investing in Nature Is Investing in the Future” — Iván Duque at Global Biodiversity Alliance 2025

"This is as practical as it can be." Former Colombian President Iván Duque delivered a passionate, solutions-driven speech at the Global Biodiversity Alliance Summit 2025 in Guyana, calling for market-driven, measurable, and globally coordinated action to fund nature protection and climate resilience. Duque laid out seven smart financing tools that can unlock billions in private capital for conservation if the right policies, guarantees, and pricing mechanisms are in place. He praised Guyana’s leadership, called for fair carbon pricing, and reminded the world that biodiversity isn’t just about saving species; it’s about safeguarding food, water, supply chains, and climate security. 📍“Guyana is a nature superpower and a model of low carbon development that proves this isn’t ideology. It’s sound policy.” 🔁 Watch and share his full address. #GBA2025 #GlobalBiodiversityAlliance #IvánDuque #NatureFinance #CarbonCredits #DebtForNature #Guyana #Columbia #COP30 #ClimateAction #Biodiversity
