We're pleased to share a new report by Will McDonald for Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, which explores how business in the UK is taking action on nature and the drivers behind it. Join us for a webinar to discuss the findings and what's needed to make progress.
There has been a significant increase in attention on the crisis in nature, the role of the private sector, and the role of nature markets in addressing the crisis. We commissioned this research to explore private sector action on nature in the UK, and evaluate the current drivers of corporate attention, activity and investment. While it will help inform our future work, we hope it will also be useful to others.
You can see and download the report below.
Join our webinar and Q&A to discuss the findings
We'll be joined by a panel of experts for a webinar on 8 October. This is for anyone interested in nature finance and private sector funding into UK nature, those with nature projects who would like to know how they could benefit from nature markets, and those interested in how businesses are taking action on nature.
As well as the report, we'll also be launching a new practical guide to all the different types of nature finance. It breaks down what each type of nature finance is, where the money comes from, and why a company acts - with case studies and links.
