Conservation and Climate Finance
The connection between capital, biodiversity and climate.
The future needs action. Now.
Our current consumption and production patterns have already proved to be incompatible with the planet's ability to supply resources and raw materials. The global ecological and climate system is collapsing. Therefore, in recent years we have seen climate and environmental challenges rise in society's debate.
But it is not enough.
The urgency and complexity of these issues require innovative financing processes that make possible effective solutions to conserve nature and to face climate challenges.
Without that, how are we going to have concrete measures to implement these solutions and, at the same time, bring prosperity and well-being to society?
How it works?
We develop financial solutions to conserve biodiversity and address climate challenges.
Stages of designing a financial instrument:
Studies and diagnoses: we carry out studies and diagnoses to better understand the economic, political, institutional, social, and environmental/ecological contexts for the development of financial instruments with the potential to unlock/mobilize resources that address the current challenges of biodiversity conservation and promote mitigation actions/ adaptation to climate change.
Design and structuring of financial instruments: finance for nature conservation and climate finance, especially actions related to land use change, are still frontier markets, with the risk x return x impact ratio not properly incorporated into current financial instruments. An alternative to this challenge is to design blended finance structures, where different types of capital and different types of instruments are made compatible in a single financing structure.
Operationalization: after designing the financial structure, Sitawi supports all stages of investment, whether operating directly (especially philanthropic capital) or with partners (commercial capital, in accordance with relevant regulation);
Impact monitoring: we elaborate the impact thesis of the funding structure in conservation and/or climate and implement an impact monitoring plan, with science-based indicators.
Territorial programs: We idealize, plan and implement territorial development programs that conserve biodiversity, maintain the flow of environmental services in the long term and guarantee sustainable ways of life.
