Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Finance solutions for nature : pathways to returns and outcomes

Publication: Geneva : International Capital Market Association, 2025Physical description: 51 p.Series: (Insight report ; September 2025)Notes: Sumario: The report examines how to mobilize capital for the protection and restoration of nature through 37 financial solutions, prioritizing 10 for their potential scale and impact: sustainable bonds and loans (linked to objectives or thematic), impact funds, natural asset companies, environmental credits, debt-for-nature swaps, payments for ecosystem services, and internal pricing mechanisms. It emphasizes that nature remains undervalued and that, despite the growth of private financing (over $102 billion in four years), barriers persist such as fragmented data, lack of standardization, and risk perception. To overcome these challenges, it proposes five enabling actions: standardize metrics, strengthen structures and risk mitigation mechanisms, expand the portfolio of bankable projects, create stable regulatory environments, and change market incentives to recognize nature's full value. The report concludes that integrating nature into financial systems is key to economic resilience and achieving global goals such as the Kunming-Montreal Biodiversity FrameworkThis includes: Executive summary -- Introduction -- 1 Prioritizing finance solutions for nature -- 2 Understanding the 10 priority solutions -- 2.1 Sustainability-linked bonds and thematic bonds -- 2.2 Sustainability-linked loans and thematic loans -- 2.3 Natural asset companies (NACs) -- 2.4 Environmental credits -- 2.5 Debt-for-nature swaps (DNS) -- 2.6 Payments for ecosystem services (PES) -- 2.7 Impact funds -- 2.8 Internal nature pricing (INP) -- 3 Unlocking priority solutions at scale -- 3.1 Standardize decision-relevant data for investors -- 3.2 Strengthen structuring approaches and de-risking mechanisms -- 3.3 Expand the investment-grade pipeline of nature projects -- 3.4 Build market demand through an enabling environment -- 3.5 Shift market norms and incentives to recognize nature's full value -- Conclusion -- Appendix A: Scoring methodology -- Appendix B: Full list of finance solutions for natureMateria / lugar / evento: Economía de impacto Inversiones socialmente responsables Inversiones anticontaminación Protección de la naturaleza Percepción del riesgo Bonos Créditos Sostenibilidad Regulación Bonos verdes Otros autores: World Economic Forum
