Financing UK Nature Recovery Proposal

Financing UK Nature Recovery is a November 2020 report that sets out the Green Finance Institute, Finance Earth and the Broadway Initiative’s proposal for how, in the run up to COP26, the UK can take action in 2021 to put nature recovery onto a sustainable financial footing.

About THE FINANCING UK NATURE RECOVERY INITIATIVE

The Financing UK Nature Recovery initiative brings together a coalition of organisations that recognise that current spending is not reversing the decline of nature in the UK.

The initiative is not an organisation - it is a collaboration that originated with a proposal from the Broadway Initiative, Green Finance Institute and Finance Earth in November 2020.

The aim of the Coalition is to create investable markets and projects for mainstream financial providers to mobilise capital towards nature-based solutions across the UK.
