Nature

This session will explore how finance can harness nature as a “shock absorber” to manage systemic risks and strengthen economic resilience in a world of escalating climate and ecological volatility. As nature and climate shocks increasingly translate into fiscal and credit stress—especially in emerging markets—embedding nature into financial and policy strategies is essential. Featuring real-world solutions like Vlinder’s scalable mangrove bond and restoration model, alongside tools like FIMA and the Bioeconomy Finance Hub, the session offers a practical roadmap for aligning nature-based solutions with credit-enhancing, investable pathways.


Framing this topic

This short section provides context for the event to ensure all participants, regardless of prior knowledge, are equipped to engage with the discussion.

As climate and nature shocks increasingly destabilise economies, especially in emerging markets, this session explores how finance can treat nature as a “shock absorber.” We’ll examine nature-based solutions (NbS) like scalable mangrove restoration, financial tools such as Financial Materiality Assessments (FIMA) that link environmental outcomes to creditworthiness, and policy initiatives like the Bioeconomy Finance Hub. Together, these approaches demonstrate how nature can underpin fiscal resilience and unlock investable pathways. Learn more at NatureFinance, ANCA, and Vlinder.
