Description

"We require the following elements to be explored:
1) What are different models for aggregating the supply and demand of ecosystem services at the landscape scale? How can we best bring together buyers and sellers across multiple objectives and multiple sectors?

2) What are the benefits and trade-offs of these different ways of bringing people together?

Given the diversity of benefits from water and landscape measures, there is a corresponding diversity of beneficiaries who may have different preferences to finance models reflecting different attitudes to risk, return, and timeframes. We would like to understand how the aggregation and investment models explored in the first point fit with governance structures, such as SPVs and bonds, such as those investigated in Eunomia's report Governance of Blended Funding (2022), and how best to manage risks, liabilities, and equity between actors. "
