Let's Talk, Singapore with Neil Humphreys and Audrey SiekEco Money: How are funds for conservation & climate action unlocked through nature bonds? Are the returns worth it?
Eco Money
Eco Money looks at the performance of ESG funds, listing regulations, global regulations for funds and corporates, as well as loans, bonds etc.For many countries, debt burdens and lack of access to international capital are enormous hurdles to meeting their ambitious biodiversity and climate goals.
With the latest launch of The Nature Conservancy's latest project in Ecuador late last year, the global conservation organisation now has six nature bond projects in implementation, and that’s expected to unlock approximately US$1 billion for conservation.
On this episode of Eco Money, Melissa Garvey, Global Director for Nature Bonds at The Nature Conservancy shares her insights on how funds for conservation & climate action unlocked through nature bonds.
