#Equity is too important to be tacked on at the end, not just because it's the right thing to do, also because equitable programs are programs that succeed. That's one of the things Leah Bremer, Marta Echavarria, and I saw over the years with our work with partners in Latin American #WaterFunds. Global Water Forum let us write a little about our work - check out our blog post! #Water #DEI #EcosystemServices https://lnkd.in/e5ctfJRF

The Crown Estate has collaborated with a coalition of experts to produce the first roadmap for scaling up finance flows to projects conserving or restoring the UK’s marine ecosystems. The roadmap emphasises that public finance alone will be insufficient, and private investment is key to scaling the UK’s “high-integrity marine natural capital markets.” Marine environments are an integral facet of the UK economy, contributing an estimated £47 billion and supporting over 500,000 jobs. Investors, however, are deterred by challenges such as a lack of agreed terminology, unclear data on benefits, greenwashing risks, and the under-development of marine financial products. The roadmap outlines the actions required by 2030 to address challenges associated with mobilising capital into UK marine natural capital markets and how to overcome barriers to investment. These include approving uniform methods for identifying marine and coastal conservation sites, addressing evidence gaps related to the health of ocean habitats, developing UK-wide codes and standardised approaches to improve marine capital market governance, and launching blended finance mechanisms. Read our featured article here: https://lnkd.in/ewg---EG With roughly 40 items of news under the themes of Ocean Sustainability; Aquaculture; Carbon Capture & Sensors; and Emerging Preservation Technology each month, here are some of April’s highlights: · Historic climate case win to protect small island states at ITLOS · Private equity sees coral reef protection as an investment opportunity · Goterra and Skretting Australia are turning food waste into sustainable fish feed · EU Commission issues guidance to boost sustainable aquaculture · UK launches £4.6m fund for sustainable aquaculture ventures · Dutch kick-start European attempts at carbon capture · enfinium to invest £1.7bn in carbon capture · Japan launches first offshore floating solar plant in Tokyo Bay Area · France targets 45 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2050 · Ammonia to account for 35-60% of maritime fuel by 2050 To read the other articles, join the mailing list for our monthly newsletter.

The Restoration Seed Capital Facility is proud to announce that ECOTIERRA’s Urapi Sustainable Land Use Fund has successfully closed an investment of USD 9.2 million in Honduras, with the Facility’s support. RSCF provided project development support in the form of reimbursable grants, notably to enable Ecotierra to achieve strengthened environmental and social outcomes for this investment. The project implements an innovative model of mixed revenues by rehabilitating old coffee plantations on degraded land, using sustainable agroforestry systems. It will also install new coffee and cocoa production areas under agroforestry, in addition to protecting and restoring forests and establishing beekeeping production. The project was designed and will be implemented in partnership with Société de coopération pour le développement international (SOCODEVI), an NGO. Through its support, RSCF has enabled Ecotierrra to accelerate and expand its efforts in bringing this opportunity to a successful close and contributed to achieving significant E&S outcomes beyond business-as-usual practices. If you are a fund manager or investment adviser who is interested in strengthening the E&S impacts of your fund or investment pipeline, learn how RSCF could support your fund or project development vehicle here: https://lnkd.in/eqPfUBR #climatefinance #landscaperestoration #investment #sustainablefinance #privatefinance #fundmanagement #seedcapital #impactinvesting #naturebasedsolutions #sustainablefarming #restorationfacility #UNEP #RSCF #BonnChallenge #climateadaptation #forests #climateinvesment #investmentstrategies #habitatrestoration #ecologicalrestoration #unitednations #trees #nature #climateresilience
