​Event Summary

​Mapping the Emerging Nature Fintech Sector

​How might opportunities for innovation within fintech mobilize more capital in pursuit of a nature-positive economy?

​
How might nearly 7 trillion USD in annual nature-negative financial flows be redirected towards alignment with the environment? How does nature tech play an enabling role for nature-related financial disclosure and risk mitigation?

​Following months of research and interviews, the Nature Tech Collective (NTC) Sector Intelligence Unit is proud to invite you to this exclusive session for a sneak peek of insights from our upcoming NTC Nature Fintech Report. Featured case studies will highlight the solutions, present progress, and future opportunities generated by members of our growing nature tech community.

​NTC members and attendees of this webinar will receive early access to the nature fintech report, so this is an event not to miss. And in case you missed our last update, the latest version of the Nature Fintech Sector Map is available for download here.

​Who Should Attend?

​​​The sessions are open to all professionals in the corporate, finance, nature finance, and fintech, sectors with an interest in the power that MRV and fintech solutions have.

​NTC members will have priority on the registration, and this event is kept cost-free as part of our nonprofit mission to drive the nature tech sector forward as a crucial catalyst bridging the nature data gap, which in turn is key to unlocking the billions needed to close the annual 700 billion USD nature finance gap.

​Event Details

​Digital financial technology (otherwise known as fintech) is well-known in today’s landscape for having revolutionized global financial systems by improving customer experiences, speeding up banking processes and simplifying investment decisions. Although historically, the banking sector has not extended itself to reconsider its relationship with the state of nature in the pursuit of capital growth.

​New economic models have evolved to account for natural capital extraction, carbon emissions, and waste management cycles, and the opportunity to re-envision the link between nature and the economy is clear.

​Yet Individual financial actors have not followed suit. 

​In today’s economy, nearly 7 trillion USD of financial flows still go towards nature-negative industries such as construction, electric utilities, real estate, oil and gas, food, agriculture and tobacco industries according to a recent report published by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP). This is more than ten times greater than public finance flows to Nature-Based Solutions (NbS), estimated at USD 200 billion annually.
