The report argues that while land restoration offers high economic returns—estimated at $7 to $30 for every dollar invested—it remains severely underfunded with an annual gap of approximately $300 billion. It identifies seven systemic barriers to investment, including the lack of market value for public benefits and long investment horizons. The authors recommend a cross-sectoral government approach, the use of carbon taxes to fund restoration, and the implementation of risk-mitigation tools like first-loss guarantees and tax credits to attract private capital. The document also provides a framework for economic valuation to make the full suite of ecosystem services visible to decision-makers.

The Coca-Cola Company and WWF have partnered since 2007 to improve water stewardship, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and transition to a circular economy for plastics. Key achievements include the restoration of over 5,462 hectares of wetlands along the Danube River, the protection of 200,000 hectares of wetlands in the Yangtze River basin, and the implementation of rainwater harvesting systems in Mexico. The partnership has also supported Coca-Cola in setting a science-based target to reduce absolute GHG emissions by 25% by 2030 from a 2015 baseline. In agriculture, 56% of priority ingredient volumes were sustainably sourced as of 2020, supported by certifications like Bonsucro for sugarcane. The partnership was renewed in August 2021 for three years to further build natural capital and climate resilience.

Between 2021 and 2023, WWF Guatemala implemented a pilot project in the Maya Biosphere Reserve to combat the illegal hunting and trade of jaguars. Using a political economy analysis (PEA) and participatory research, the project identified corruption risks and threats, such as the presence of mafias baiting jaguars to justify killing them. To mitigate these risks without alienating government collaborators, the project avoided direct mentions of 'corruption' during implementation, focusing instead on 'opportunities for change' like ranger rotation and improved control posts. Practical interventions included installing electric fences for ranchers and launching radio campaigns to reduce human-jaguar conflict. The project highlighted the critical need for reliable data on wildlife seizures and conflict, as 'Corruption and criminality also thrive in information-poor environments.'

Nutreco has implemented 'RoadMap 2025', a sustainability framework organized into three pillars: health and welfare, climate and circularity, and good citizenship. The company has set Science-Based Targets (SBTs) for 2030, including a 30% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions and a 58% reduction in Scope 3 emissions based on value-added economic intensity. To reduce reliance on traditional commodities that drive deforestation and overfishing, Nutreco aims for 5-10% of its feed ingredients to be 'novel' by 2025, though the document notes that global availability of such ingredients is currently limited to likely under 200,000 metric tons. The company is also adopting Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) to provide carbon transparency to clients and has established a Marine Ingredients Responsible Sourcing Policy requiring certifications such as ASC or MSC. In terms of social impact, Nutreco targets improving the livelihoods of 12,000 small farmers, with active projects in Nigeria and Guatemala.

The 'Food is Local' fellowship by WWF International provides funding for master's and PhD students from 32 eligible countries to conduct interdisciplinary research on transforming food systems to be more sustainable, equitable, and climate-resilient. Eligible applicants must be citizens of the listed countries, have two years of conservation experience, and plan to start their studies by January 2024. Research proposals are encouraged to cover themes such as agroecological practices, gender equity, and the role of food systems in achieving Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).

The document provides an Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) for the MAR2R project, which aims to conserve shared freshwater, coastal, and marine resources in the Mesoamerican Reef ecoregion. It outlines the institutional roles of the Central American Commission on Environment and Development (CCAD) and partner NGOs, defines a project classification system (Categories A, B, and C) for screening impacts, and details the required procedures for Environmental and Social Impact Assessments (ESIA). The framework specifically addresses risks associated with land-based threats to the reef, such as agricultural runoff, deforestation, and aquaculture, and sets strict safeguards for indigenous peoples and involuntary resettlement.

The document argues that climate change acts as a 'risk multiplier' for water security, affecting all businesses regardless of their direct water reliance. It proposes a four-step process—Assess Risk, Develop Strategy, Implement Solutions, and Monitor/Adapt—to move companies from simple sustainability to long-term climate resilience. The report emphasizes the superiority of nature-based solutions over purely engineered infrastructure and advocates for collective, basin-level action over isolated site-level management.
