The Finance & Biodiversity Community gathered in June for an online workshop to share experiences on creating positive impact on biodiversity. The focus was on how financing solutions work and the opportunities and challenges of scaling them up. The workshop was organized and facilitated by NextGreen, as part of our mission to support or lead this community.

Incentive policy

During the workshop, speakers from Aviva Investors, Planet A Ventures, and eco.business Fund explained how their initiatives are working to have a positive impact on biodiversity. The breakout sessions focused on the issue of scaling up. In these sessions, participants concluded that measuring positive biodiversity impact and ensuring appropriate—and preferably incentivizing—government policies are necessary to increase the positive impact on both the business community and biodiversity. These two prerequisites will be central to the next two F&B Community workshops.
