Conservation and Climate Finance
The connection between capital, biodiversity and climate.
The future needs action. Now.
Our current consumption and production patterns have already proven to be incompatible with the planet's ability to provide 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 the debate of society.
But it is not enough.
The urgency and complexity of these issues require innovative funding processes that make effective solutions possible for conserving nature and addressing 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 conduct diagnostics 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/ adaptation to climate change.
Design and structuring of financial instruments: nature conservation finance 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 regulations);
Impact monitoring: we developed the impact thesis of the funding structure on conservation and/or climate and implemented an impact monitoring plan, with science-based indicators.
Territorial programs: We devise, plan and implement territorial development programs that conserve biodiversity, maintain the long-term flow of environmental services and ensure sustainable livelihoods.
Who is it for?
National and international actors interested in increasing capital flows for biodiversity conservation and the climate agenda.
