Unlocking nature-based solutions with mitigation banking

As ecological degradation threatens over half of global GDP, nature-based solutions are emerging as both environmental imperatives and compelling investment opportunities. Yet, investors have encountered challenges finding scalable, transparent ways to access these opportunities.

Mitigation banking is a market-based framework addressing these challenges directly, creating opportunities for investors to contribute to solutions for addressing nature loss while potentially generating financial returns.

Nuveen Natural Capital's Gwen Busby, PhD, Head of Research and Strategy, explores this opportunity in more detail in the IPE Natural Capital Managers Report.
