Over half of global GDP depends on nature, yet investment in its protection and restoration remains at the fringes of financial systems. For businesses, the cost of inaction is twofold: rising risks from climate and ecosystem decline and lost opportunities to benefit from new nature-positive markets.
Nature must move from being treated as an externality to being recognised as a core asset class. That shift requires innovation – from platforms that make natural capital measurable and investible, to models that de-risk regenerative practices, and mechanisms that link financial returns with ecosystem outcomes.
This section highlights scalable solutions already bridging the gap – helping to unlock new markets, direct capital more effectively, and embed nature at the heart of financial decision-making.

Making Natural Capital Measurable and Investible.
The Landbanking Group are addressing a critical gap in the global economy: while nature is our most valuable asset, its economic value has been largely invisible and unmanaged. This leads to missed revenue for landowners, hidden nature-related supply chain risks for corporations, and inefficient investments for those seeking to make a positive environmental impact.

Nature Intelligence Platform to Measure, Report and Act on Nature Risk.
Founded by researchers from the University of Oxford, Natcap was created to bridge the gap between advancements in how we measure and manage interactions with nature and organisations that lacked the tools to translate this knowledge into real-world applications. Today, Natcap’s nature intelligence platform empowers corporates, financial institutions and policymakers to move beyond commitments to meaningful action.
