Summary
Approximately USD 6.7 trillion global investments are needed to achieve the water-related SDG targets by 2030. As things stand, these investments will be dominated by traditional “grey” infrastructure
Currently, Nature Based “green” Solutions represent only 5% of global investments in water resources
Future investments in Nature Based Solutions can enhance water security but constraints need to be overcome to facilitate wide-spread implementation
