Welcome to the Website!

December 23, 2022 | News

Our dynamic website is LIVE!  🥳

As we explained in our introductory post Invest4Nature aims to create a market for investments into nature-based solutions in order to make NBS more independent from public funding and encourage their wider implementation.

Why the Invest4Nature website?

The website is thus a way for us in the project to communicate with you, our readers, and to inform you of the latest developments and progress in Invest4Nature and inspire you on NBS-related topics. What you can expect:

  • The website as a one-stop-shop for all things Invest4Nature
  • Regular news updates on the tools and solutions we are developing
  • Updates from our Living Labs on the NBS cases implemented
  • Regular blog articles to share insights from the members of our consortium on their work in Invest4Nature
  • Sharing of events relevant the NBS and its financing

Who are you?

As the audience to our website, you are very important in our work in Invest4Nature, either as a contributor to the development of our solutions or those benefitting from implemented NBS. You could be:

  • Citizen and member of the general public – you might be a member of the general public who wants to know more about Invest4Nature and nature-based solutions. Or you could be a citizen interested in the potential benefits they could bring to your area
  • An NBS enabler – such as an investor looking to put resources into the development of NBS
  • Implementer – such as a service provider or a municipality running on the ground to realize a local NBS project
  • Technical user – such as a researcher from academia or a member of the insurance industry looking to find out more technicalities on integrating NBS into your work as research topic or a risk mitigating factor
