WWF-UK and the GFI are working together to develop #nature-positive pathways (NPPs) for the UK. These pathways will define the private sector's contribution to meeting the UK's nature-related targets, and provide actionable steps for businesses to manage their nature-related risks and leverage nature-related opportunities. Economic resilience and prosperity depend on the delivery of national and international targets for nature, such as those laid out in the #GlobalBiodiversityFramework. To meet these targets, we will need to build on – and move beyond – assessments and disclosures. WWF and Aviva today published a report defining the role of and need for NPPs globally: https://lnkd.in/eykUEMU3. We look forward to working with WWF-UK to develop NPPs for the UK.

As part of our #London Climate Action Week 2024 Finance Event Series, we were delighted to welcome leaders from across government and financial services to discuss Renewing Britain’s leadership of the green transition at an event which highlighted the UK government’s renewed focus on enabling policy measures to deliver domestic growth through catalysing private investment into the economy. We discussed commitments to launch the National Wealth Fund, as well as the UK’s opportunity to develop solutions for a just transition globally. A special thanks must go to our esteemed panelists and keynote speakers for creating such an insightful and energetic event, as we continue to chart an actionable way forward in green finance solutions through collaboration.

Our latest sector-focused report “Toward an investable sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) sector: the UK as a globally replicable model" alongside our “Market Analysis Report" has launched today, supported by Breakthrough Energy . In the report we set out a very clear view of progress made - and what still needs to happen to create an investable SAF sector. Insights are drawn from close working with the market and the Government over the last 2 years to identify and develop solutions for some of the key investment challenges - which has supported Government in moving forward on a revenue certainty mechanism. Under the new impetus created by announcements of a NWF, which will play a central role in delivering the Government’s Industrial Strategy and make transformative investments across the UK, the Government is examining the case for bringing together bodies from across the UK’s public finance institutions. Currently the SAF opportunity appears to be ‘falling through the cracks’ – the sector should be a prime target for project-based public co-investment given the demonstrable need to share risk across the capital stack to attract private debt to projects. Our report outlines the sample structuring solutions that could address first of a kind project risk. We are grateful to the SAF Investor Working Group - including Bank of America, Robert Clews FCA, FEI of Bechtel Corporation, Boeing, Elisabeth Springer of Citi, Peter Conway of Energy Estate, HSBC, NatWest, Tom Reid and Gaynor Hartnell of Renewable Transport Fuel Association - for their time and feedback as we developed the analysis and insights contained in this work.

Since 2020, Local Climate Bonds (LCBs) have enabled twelve pioneering councils to mobilise millions for local green projects, to deliver on #NetZero goals. The launch of the Royal Borough of Greenwich's LCB – Greenwich Green Investment – is another significant step forward for local authorities looking to invest in #ClimateAction for the community. Local Climate Bonds empower local authorities to build an independent, local and diversified funding source from citizen investors and the wider institutional landscape, while simultaneously creating a platform for community engagement and participation. Find out more about LCBs and download our toolkit today: https://lnkd.in/eRfRNr56

The Global Biodiversity Framework’s 200 signatories have committed to mobilise $200bn per year for #biodiversity. To support this ambition, the GFI is leading a global project with partners BIOFIN - Biodiversity Finance Initiative, United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI), and the Environmental Policy Innovation Center, to ensure private sector finance is flowing at scale for nature restoration and conservation. Called Revenues for Nature, the project focuses on knowledge sharing, multistakeholder learning and implementation of revenue generating nature projects across the world. R4N will formally launch at CBD #COP16 in Cali, with a series of events and announcements, including a database of models, case studies and guidebooks. If you would like to receive communications about the project and/or collaborate with us, please sign up to our Community of Practice here: https://lnkd.in/eyXwXXkM #nature

The National Wealth Fund offers an opportunity to reshape the way public sector capital can be used to keep innovative businesses in the UK - by moving away from grants and subsidies, to sharing risk and catalysing private investment. The Battery Investment Facility, developed by the GFI, is an example of how this catalytic public finance could work in practice, de-risking investments across the battery supply chain by blending public and private capital to give investors confidence in supporting a growing industry and helping reach our #NetZero ambitions. Read more on the Battery Investment Facility in New Statesman Spotlight by Juliet Flamank, Associate Director of Transport at GFI, here: https://lnkd.in/eM5ZRhAz #Transport #EV #Battery

The Green Finance Institute recently partnered with the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) on a series of ‘Meet the Funder’ events where automotive companies raising financing were matched with relevant investors in the space. The GFI has explored the different barriers to investment in the UK transport sector, and identified two core challenges for this sector: 💸 the lack of investors open to investing in this sector 🤝 connecting those investors with companies looking for finance. We were delighted to partner with SMMT on this, addressing how to better match investors with potential investments and to produce this guide, which seeks to provide advice for companies ahead of their first meeting with a prospective investor.
