Thriving Natural Capital Podcast
Dr Hannah Rudman.
伊人直播鈥檚 Thriving Natural Capital Challenge Centre is supporting the Scottish Conservation Finance Pioneers network in developing new natural capital investment projects that can deliver returns for investors, whether they are private businesses, public agencies or communities.聽
As the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP15) continues this week, has revealed that a minimum of 拢44 - 拢97 billion of investment is needed to deliver the UK鈥檚 nature-related ambitions over the next 10 years. The investment is needed to secure key nature-related outcomes in the UK -聽such as biodiversity protection and restoration. The gap in Scotland is estimated to be between 拢15 and 拢27 billion.
Dr Hannah Rudman, a co-leader of both the Thriving Natural Capital Challenge Centre and the Finance Pioneers network, has produced a podcast which finds out about three exciting projects in Scotland that are securing investment for nature-based solutions. Hannah learns how individuals, communities and the public and private sector are coming together to attract the first (and hardest?) billion pounds Scotland needs for lots of nature-based projects to start-up.
