The Nature Conservancy is a leading global conservation organization working in over 70 countries with a vision to create a world where nature and people thrive. Our priorities are focused on tackling climate change and conserving healthy lands, waters and oceans. In Europe we work with governments, corporations and the finance sector to drive globally relevant strategies in Europe and from Europe through programs, partnerships and policy advocacy for transformational conservation impact. We manage a portfolio of strategically important conservation work in Europe that contributes to our global conservation agenda and accelerates conservation impact in Asia and the Pacific, Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America and North America. We work collaboratively and across political aisles, geographic borders and sectors with multiple and diverse stakeholders and decision makers and are often seen as a trusted advisor and convenor in our work with governments, business leaders, individuals and institutions.
Europe Can Lead the Way
Europe plays an outsized role in the global environmental community and is leading by example to tackle the climate crisis.
Solving Climate Change with Nature
We believe that deeper investment in natural systems can help build healthy, thriving communities and support local economies while tackling another urgent global threat: climate change.
Adapting to a Changing Climate
In order to help cities protect their residents from the impacts of a changing climate, we help municipalities utilize existing and new green spaces to manage stormwater, reduce heat island effect and increase biodiversity.
Protecting the Blue Heart of Europe
The wealth of freshwater biodiversity, and the unique intactness of South East Europe’s rivers, earns it the nickname of being the “blue heart of Europe.”
Investing in Nature For Healthy Waters
Water security is at the heart of healthy and prosperous societies. By mobilizing investment in nature-based solutions, we help European countries secure water resources and address new and rising challenges associated with climate change.
Transforming the Way We Finance Nature
The Nature Conservancy in Europe works closely with governments, public banks, financial institutions, corporations and investors to advocate for policy changes and mobilize resources at the scale we need to halt biodiversity loss by 2030.
The Power of Policy for a Green and Sustainable Future
Through thought leadership, trusted experience, science and on the ground expertise from around the world, The Nature Conservancy partners with European government agencies and funding institutions to strengthen public policy in Europe and globally.
Working with Companies for Systems Change
Around 50% of companies worldwide that have set science-based targets on tackling climate change are based in Europe. TNC works to ensure that the leadership, innovation & financial resources of European Companies are mobilized towards our mission.
