Financing Nature: Mobilising Capital for Biodiversity, Ecosystem Restoration, and Nature-Positive De

Biodiversity finance is now central to economic and financial decision-making, yet the capital reaching nature remains a fraction of what is required. This book explains how the gap can be closed by reconfiguring how the financial system perceives, prices, and rewards ecological value.

- Understand the biodiversity finance gap and why closing it means redirecting mainstream capital, not merely adding dedicated funds.
- Analyze how natural capital is valued and made visible to governments, companies, and investors.
- Discover the public finance reforms and harmful-subsidy redirection that offer the largest near-term gains.
- Evaluate private and institutional investment, fiduciary duty, and the barriers that constrain capital at scale.
- Examine ecosystem service markets, biodiversity credits, and the integrity rules that separate real outcomes from greenwashing.
- Interpret debt instruments, blended finance, and the de-risking structures that make nature investable.
- Assess nature-related risk, disclosure frameworks, and the data challenge that determines whether capital can respond.

Written for professionals who need clarity rather than slogans, this book turns a fragmented field into a coherent framework. Read it to understand how finance can become a genuine force for a nature-positive future.
