所面临的挑战
Dwindling Resources + Increasing Demand
With the global population estimated to peak at 9 billion by 2050, there is a growing need to maximize the pace, scale and effectiveness of efforts to protect natural ecosystems – along with the cities and communities that rely on them. Conservation projects that demonstrate nature’s strength and resilience create value for habitats and communities, which can attract significant investment. Investment capital abounds, but projects that can translate investment into conservation outcomes and investment returns are in short supply.
的机会
Closing the Funding Gap
NatureVest is working to close the funding gap that exists today by creating new opportunities to invest private and philanthropic capital in conservation projects that deliver financial returns and clear environmental benefits. 投资者 interested in a more sustainable impact from their capital can provide much needed financing for projects such as green infrastructure for cities struggling to manage stormwater, sustainable cattle ranching for grassland restoration and improved fisheries management systems, 举几个例子.
