Mirova Welcomes New Investors to Its Flagship Sustainable Land Use Strategy

A Unique Momentum for Nature-Based Solutions & Sustainable Land Use

Cette annonce intervient à un moment stratégique pour l’action climatique et la préservation de la biodiversité, à l’approche de la COP30 au Brésil. Elle s’inscrit dans le cadre de la première édition de la Paris Climate & Nature Week, soutenue par Mirova et Natixis IM en tant que partenaires fondateurs de la Paris Climate School, ainsi que du Paris Peace Forum. L’année 2025 marque également le dixième anniversaire de l’Accord de Paris et de l’expertise de Mirova en capital naturel, illustrant la dynamique croissante autour des solutions fondées sur la nature et des coalitions internationales pour la restauration des écosystèmes.

Strong Institutional and Public Investor Appetite

Building on the initial commitments from  Abeille Assurances,  Allianz France,  BNP Paribas Cardif,  FMO, Proparco and the SDG Impact Finance Initiative (SIFI), this new wave of investors underscores the growing appetite for high-impact strategies. DEFRA and GAC, both investors in Mirova’s first-generation sustainable land use fund, reaffirm their support for the firm’s natural capital platform. 

Total capital raised for this second vintage now exceeds EUR 100 million, marking a significant milestone in building a global coalition of public, private, and philanthropic partners committed to transforming supply chains through sustainable land use. In addition, the Green Climate Fund approved EUR 75 million support earlier this year, which is expected to be fully signed by the end of the year. The fundraising period remains open, with a target size of EUR 350 million.

A Scalable Blended Finance Model for Impact

Mirova’s sustainable land use strategy mobilizes public and concessional capital to de-risk investments and unlock larger volumes of private funding. Its layered structure enables a wide range of investors—from family offices to insurers—to invest in the natural capital space. In response to growing physical risks, particularly in food systems and supply chains, the strategy channels capital toward resilient, low-carbon agricultural and forestry production and transformation activities. It aims to deliver measurable outcomes in climate adaptation and mitigation, biodiversity conservation, and social inclusion, with a strong focus on empowering women in emerging markets. Target sectors include sustainable forestry, agroforestry, and regenerative agriculture.

To deliver on these ambitions, Mirova relies on strategic alliances with organizations such as the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and the Rainforest Alliance to source and support high-quality projects on the ground. These partnerships are instrumental in scaling nature-based solutions that deliver climate, biodiversity, and community benefits across Africa, Latin America, and Asia. Mirova also reached a key milestone by establishing a Technical Assistance Facility (TAF) dedicated to improving the environmental and social performance of the projects financed by the strategy, with its management entrusted to the Catalytic Finance Foundation.
