Investing in nature: innovative strategies with measurable returns - ERP Spain.com - España y América Latina

Nature-positive investing has never been of greater importance. Nature provides the fundamental capital base for the global economy; by some estimates over half of global economic output is dependent on it. However, with the increasing frequency and severity of physical climate hazards, as well as nature loss, earth’s stock of natural capital is declining and putting the economy, investments and our well-being at risk. It is estimated that over $500 billion a year is needed by 2030 to halt and reverse this dangerous decline in nature—public and private investment will be critical for closing the financing gap to support these efforts. At the same time, government and corporate action to identify and mitigate the impacts of nature loss has ramped up, creating policies and incentives aimed at mobilizing capital into the sector. As a result, new and innovative solutions are emerging that provide investors with meaningful opportunities to restore nature while generating positive financial returns. For example, environmental markets and their potential to enhance returns are growing as are new structures in fixed income markets such as debt-for-nature swaps.
