📣 Today we are marking an important milestone having raised commitments of over $1billion across our investment platform for natural capital.   🔔 At the same time, we are announcing the final close of our first vintage Natural Capital and Nature Based Carbon Funds.   🌲 Investments across our platform are strategically aligned, with the aim of contributing consistently to the goals of the Paris Agreement for Climate Action and the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, reinforcing our commitment to shape a Net-Zero and Nature Positive world.   🌱 A significant proportion of the capital raised has been rapidly deployed into high-quality natural capital projects around the world with the potential to improve more than two million hectares of global landscapes.   👉 As a Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) Early Adopter, our investment approach is aligned with key policy frameworks that support institutional and corporate investors in playing a role as stewards of natural capital.   🌎 Fundraising will recommence in 2025 with strategies focused on natural capital real assets and building on a proven ability to build a diversified portfolio of natural capital assets targeting financial returns with impact outcomes for investors.   🌈 We’d like to thank our LPs, our shareholders, our partners and collaborators for their trust and vision; our wonderful multi-national and multi-talented team for their passion, diligence and good humour; and the communities around the world with whom we are working so hard to restore, conserve and protect nature and our natural resources.   You can read the full media announcement here https://lnkd.in/eTApQvPB   #NatureIsCapital #NaturalCapital #NatureBasedSolutions #ClimateResilience #SustainableFuture
