The Challenge: Investing for Life on Land
Supported by

$44tr of economic value generation, over half the world’s total GDP is moderately or highly dependent on nature and its services. Despite the criticality of our ecosystems, Life on Land is one of the least invested SDGs from a private capital perspective. Credit Suisse’s report “Unearthing investor action on biodiversity” found that whilst 84% of investor participants were very concerned about biodiversity loss, 74% had not assessed the impact of their investments on biodiversity.

Credit Suisse is proud to support the Lead 2030 Challenge for SDG 15. The Challenge was launched to surface and support impactful enterprises that look to further narrow the gap in achieving SDG 15. The Challenge welcomed entrepreneurs with for-profit enterprises that help improve Life on Land, in any form, to submit their business plan for consideration.
