UK natural capital and ecosystem services — a pathway to at-scale investment capital flows
What it examines
Examines barriers to investment in UK nature projects and the role of public grants, project-development support and blended finance. It proposes clearer sequencing from early public support to institutional investment, alongside consistent measurement, governance and contracts.
Why it matters
UK-specific research on how public funding and market rules can help projects attract investment. Its proposals concern the wider public-capital system and do not announce a new fund or change the mandate of an institution covered by the Monitor.
