Nature Markets

Shaping Nature Positive Markets

Nature markets are a sub-set of the economy where nature is specifically traded and valued. This includes large markets such as agricultural commodities and emerging markets that reflect the growing economic value of nature, such as nature-based solutions for carbon sequestration.

We are in the middle of an unprecedented historic shift towards pricing and trading nature, catalysing the above so-called “nature markets”. We recognise that whether these will be “good or bad” will depend on how they evolve and how they are governed.

At NatureFinance, we help shape tomorrow’s markets to ensure equitable, nature-positive outcomes.

To do so, we believe that we need a full spectrum of actors and initiatives. Our work on shaping nature markets operates across an unusually wide portfolio of interventions, from classical research and traditional civil advocacy to public campaigning.

Biodiversity Credit Markets

Emerging biodiversity credit markets must deliver on their core public purpose in terms of scale, price and impact. NatureFinance is working with partners in developing frameworks and recommendations to shape high-integrity biodiversity credit markets.
