WHAT ARE EXAMPLES OF NATURE-BASED SOLUTIONS INVESTMENTS?

Regenerative Agriculture & Agroforestry

 

Sustainable land management, permaculture and agroforestry can enhance soil health, sequester carbon, and promote sustainable agriculture while offering financial returns.

Reforestation & Afforestation

 

Investing in reforestation or afforestation projects can generate market-rate returns through commodities and multiple other income streams, while enhancing biodiversity and sequestering carbon.

Blue Economy

 

Investments in sustainable fisheries and aquaculture can ensure long-term profitability while conserving marine ecosystems.

Green & Blue Infrastructure

 

Conservation and rehabilitation of wetlands, mangroves, and coral reefs enhance coastal resilience, reduce financial damages from flooding, erosion, and storm surge risks. While, urban forests can regulate temperatures and manage stormwater, increasing productivity and reducing damages.

Water Management

 

Investments in sustainable water management projects, including watershed protection and wetlands restoration, improve water quality, reduce runoff, and enhance groundwater recharge.

HOW DO NATURE-BASED SOLUTIONS INVESTMENTS CREATE RETURNS?

Commodities: Sustainable aquaculture products, timber, non-timber forest products such as cacao, rubber, fruits, nuts, medicinal plants for pharma, and carbon credits.

Biodiversity Credits: An emerging market-based instrument designed to mitigate the negative impacts of development or land use changes on biodiversity. It works similarly to carbon credits, but instead of addressing greenhouse gas emissions, biodiversity credits focus on conserving or enhancing biodiversity and natural ecosystems.

Payments for Ecosystem Services: A system of assigning financial value and compensation to nature’s contributions, thereby financing the preservation or enhancement of specific ecosystem services, such as clean water or carbon sequestration.

Recreation: Returns through outdoor recreational activities like ecotourism, wildlife viewing, hiking, and camping.
Conservation Easements: Tax benefits for long-term land and natural resources preservation.
