Abstract

The conservation and enhancement of natural capital, encompassing biodiversity and ecosystem services, are critical for sustaining human well-being and ecological resilience. This abstract explores innovative financing solutions aimed at mobilizing investments to support biodiversity conservation and ecosystem restoration efforts. Key strategies include Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES), biodiversity offsets, green bonds, impact investments, and conservation finance mechanisms. Successful implementation of these solutions requires collaboration among stakeholders, robust monitoring frameworks, and supportive policy environments. Case studies highlight effective initiatives worldwide, underscoring the importance of integrating natural capital considerations into financial decisionmaking for sustainable development.
