Natural Capital Investment Conference 2019

28 February 2019

The Royal Society, London

The leading forum to catalyse investment in the UK’s natural environment.

This innovative environmental finance conference is leading the movement to make the UK a leader in investment in the natural environment on the basis of its economic value.

A restored natural environment can play a big part in resilience against flooding, water shortage and summer heat episodes. It is central to climate change adaptation. This key event will demonstrate that green finance – and green growth – offers unprecedented opportunities for financial institutions to invest in UK natural features such as woodland, peatland and wetland.

Areas for discussion:

Securing long-term revenue streams
Opportunities and financial models for impact investors
The pipeline of UK environmental restoration projects
Roles for government to support the market

Designed to turn discussion into action, the forum will catalyse new partnerships between financial institutions, land owners, environmental organisations and government. The event will address the challenge laid down by the Green Finance Task Force in March 2018 that “increased private sector investment into protecting and enhancing natural capital will also be crucial to improving our resilience.”
