Unlocking capital for nature: Office for Investment convenes investors, government and local leaders to drive delivery
What was announced
Today, the Office for Investment (OfI) convened investors, nature projects and local and national government in Bristol.
Key points, in the publisher's words
- Today, the Office for Investment (OfI) convened investors, nature projects and local and national government in Bristol to encourage innovative financing mechanisms, grow the market, and help nature projects attract investment.
- A report published by the OfI, in partnership with the North Devon Biosphere, found that the UK’s natural capital and ecosystem services were becoming a strategic investment opportunity, but the market was still too fragmented and immature to attract capital at scale.
- The CEO of the OfI, the Mayor of the West of England and Lloyds Banking Group hosted investors, nature recovery projects and government representatives in Bristol to explore how public and private investment could help unlock greater nature recovery.
