Live Leading environmental and financial minds will descend on Sydney for a world-first global summit in a bid to fuel billions of dollars of nature funding.

The summit will provide a forum for delegates including ministers, environment groups, First Nations peoples, business, scientists and community leaders to brainstorm ways to supercharge investment in nature-repairing projects.

A global biodiversity framework, agreed to by 196 countries at a United Nations conference last year, set a target of $US200 billion a year to be spent on nature repair by 2030.

Federal Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek acknowledged government funding was critical to the task but said many others groups must also play a role.

“We need government leading the way, but we also need the private sector, environmentalists and First Nations groups all pulling in the same direction.
