Financing Nature: Mobilising Capital for Biodiversity, Ecosystem Restoration, and Nature-Positive Development

Biodiversity finance is now central to economic and financial decision-making, yet the capital reaching nature remains a fraction of what is required. This book explains how the gap can be closed by reconfiguring how the financial system perceives, prices, and rewards ecological value. - Understand the biodiversity finance gap and why closing it means redirecting mainstream capital, not merely adding dedicated funds. - Analyze how natural capital is valued and made visible to governments, companies, and investors. - Discover the public finance reforms and harmful-subsidy redirection that offer the largest near-term gains. - Evaluate private and institutional investment, fiduciary duty, and the barriers that constrain capital at scale. - Examine ecosystem service markets, biodiversity credits, and the integrity rules that separate real outcomes from greenwashing. - Interpret debt instruments, blended finance, and the de-risking structures that make nature investable. >Written for professionals who need clarity rather than slogans, this book turns a fragmented field into a coherent framework. Read it to understand how finance can become a genuine force for a nature-positive future.
