Exploring mechanisms such as debt-for-nature swaps and blended finance models to unlock funding for impactful projects.

Biodiversity & Environmental Stewardship

Inclusive supply chains

Localising supply chain, value creation for communities.

Biodiversity is collapsing worldwide as a result of overpopulation, over-consumption and unsustainable farming practices. 

 

The existing interventions are not enough to combat the eventual total collapse and have only served to slow it down. We are developing a fully integrated economic approach to managing eco-systems, defining biodiversity economic value and, restoring and protecting biodiversity with the people in it.

Biodiversity regulation

Regulation of farming, trade and finance to protect ecosystems is starting to gain momentum. The European Union's Deforestation Regulation is a decisive move to protect forests through commodity trade controls. Commodity trade patterns, prices and human rights will all be affected by biodiversity protection. Our research paper considers the risks and paths to successful implementation.
