Naturance Festival - Insurance and Investment Opportunities for Nature-Based Transformations

The second NATURANCE Festival will take place on 3–5 February 2026 at the BIP Meeting Centre in Brussels, Belgium. It will bring together policymakers, researchers, financial institutions, and practitioners to explore insurance and investment opportunities for nature-based transformations.

The Festival will provide space for exchange between communities working on climate adaptation, finance, and nature-based solutions, showcasing emerging approaches to mobilising capital and managing risk through nature-positive strategies. Participants will reflect on lessons learned from ongoing initiatives, explore synergies among related projects, and identify practical pathways for scaling up implementation.

The three-day programme will move from policy discussions on day one, to financing and insurance solutions on day two, and conclude with legacy and future opportunities on day three. As the final edition of the Festival series, the Brussels event will also serve as a culminating moment for NATURANCE, capturing key insights, policy messages, and collaborative legacies that can inform future European action on nature-based finance and insurance.
