This is about 0.10% of global GDP. Public funds make up 86% and private finance makes up the remaining 14% of these investments.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Public Investment: <\/strong>The largest proportion of public investment is carried out by the United States, with approximately $36 billion a year in NbS spending. It is followed by China, Japan, Germany and Australia.\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Countries such as Brazil, India and Saudi Arabia <\/strong>are likely spending large amounts of money too. But they do not report internationally comparable data, according to the report.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Private Investment: <\/strong>The private investment in Nature-based solutions is mostly contributed by\n<ul>\n<li>Commercial financial institutions,<\/li>\n<li>Investors including insurance companies, asset management firms<\/li>\n<li>Philanthropies including foundations and endowments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5><strong>Recommendations:<\/strong><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Firstly, <\/strong>the report calls for <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">investments in nature-based solutions to triple<\/span> by 2030 and to increase four-fold by 2050 from the current level.\n<ul>\n<li><strong>By 2050, <\/strong>the total investment of nature needs will amount to $8.1 trillion, while annual investment should reach $536 billion annually by 2050.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Secondly<\/strong>, the report has called for a<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"> comprehensive system and framework<\/span> for labelling, tracking, reporting and verifying the state of finance for NbS.
