Explore innovative investment models that allocate capital at scale to urban nature and biodiversity. This session will identify three systemic gaps hindering the necessary capital for urban nature and biodiversity: the capital market's inability to finance nature, public investment creating private wealth, and the absence of viable community governance mechanisms.
Our experts will discuss how blended finance solutions can address these gaps and the insufficiency of current impact investment theses. The panel will provide insights into the challenges and opportunities in structuring systemic investment mechanisms that catalyze significant private and institutional capital while ensuring value creation for public stakeholders. Join us in this conversation about practical examples and strategies aimed at supporting urban nature and biodiversity assets, fostering collaboration among diverse stakeholders to drive transformative change.
