Nature and Biodiversity Finance

Biodiversity finance instruments, nature-positive investment, and avoiding nature-washing.

About this programme

The fast-emerging nature finance market: the biodiversity finance gap, biodiversity credits and nature-based solutions, financing mechanisms (debt-for-nature swaps, biodiversity bonds, blended finance), and how investors assess nature-positive claims without falling for nature-washing.

  • Explain the biodiversity finance gap and the market mechanisms filling it.
  • Distinguish biodiversity credits from carbon credits — integrity and risks.
  • Structure and assess nature-linked financing instruments.
