INNOVATE 4 NATURE

I4N PROVIDES:

A unique marketplace for NbS projects demonstrating the business case for biodiversity

A unique scientific expertise to assess NbS solutions based on the IUCN Global Standard

A combination of knowledge and expertise for biodiversity, sustainability, co-creation, and marketplace-building

The loss of biological diversity threatens the very foundations of our society, posing risks to food security, our health, and businesses.

According to upcoming regulations and strategies in the EU to promote biodiversity, there will be requirements to invest in nature and accelerate Nature-based Solutions (NbS). This is a new investment area and will require more robustness through qualified assessments based on the IUCN Global Standard™ for NbS and a marketplace for solutions and investors.

I4N PROVIDES SUPPORT TO FINANCE AND ACCELERATE NBS CREATING NATURE-POSITIVE IMPACT IN THE FOLLOWING FOCUS AREAS:

Due to the lack of trust and strong data between investors and ventures addressing societal challenges and biodiversity loss, an investment gap exists.

Innovate 4 Nature creates the marketplace for scouting as well as screening Nature-based Solutions (conservation, sustainable management of nature or restoration projects) and matching them with investors or corporates looking for projects protecting nature or reversing ecosystem degradation.
