香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 and partners have the pleasure of introducing you to a new and unique conservation accelerator fund, intended to create a scalable pipeline of investments rooted in nature-based solutions. Learn how the Nature+ Accelerator Fund marries conservation with social benefits while generating returns,听and effectively supporting a new natural capital asset class.
Joining 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播鈥檚 panel to discuss听the Accelerator's听role in听conservation finance are the Global Environment Facility (GEF) who support the Accelerator as an anchor investor, Mirova who structure and operate the Accelerator, and the Coalition for Private Investment in Conservation (CPIC) who provide investment blueprints.
The Accelerator in a nutshell
With the GEF听as an anchor investor, the Nature+ Accelerator Fund has already secured US$ 8 million in risk-tolerant financing. The commercially-operated fund, which will be managed by asset management company Mirova, aims to raise further investment to create a US$ 200 million portfolio of projects ranging from the seed investment phase through to the sustainable growth phase.
The Accelerator concentrates in the following areas: Marine conservation and coastal resilience; smallholder production systems and sustainable agriculture; ecosystem conservation and restoration; and innovation in services, finance and technology.
The Accelerator is offering investment money to early stage pilots and project ideas, impact enterprises with high potential for scalability, complemented by technical assistance and capacity building in three complementary investment windows: Seed, Early Venture (together defined as听 the incubation period) and Venture windows.
鈥淭here is a growing case for why investing in nature should be a viable proposition for the private sector. The Nature+ Accelerator Fund is designed to create a sizable pipeline of attractive nature-based investment deals to be offered on the market. The fund听will accelerate the growth of mature and near-mature investment plans in nature-based solutions and help prepare them to access commercial financing鈥, said Stewart Maginnis, 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Global Director Nature-based Solutions Group. "This fund, operated by Mirova, is supported by a mix of private and public funding with the ambition of growing a US$ 200M portfolio.鈥
The Accelerator is now ready to accept commitments from public and private professional investors.
