Regulatory Landscape
In working with our client Natural Capital Funds based typically in the Global North, we often are invariably quizzed about the regulatory landscape of each host country where a particular NbS project is based. We have thus decided to open source our internal research (which we try to update frequently) on each country offering a significant NbS supply. We hope that this helps solve to an extent the informational asymmetry around the idiosyncratic and dynamic NbS regulatory landscape, helping someone develop or deploy capital faster to help scale the natural capital ecosystem, which all of us in this community so aggressively seek.
