Boards and investors are moving from “why nature” to “how to price, disclose, and invest.” Nature and Biodiversity Finance is a practitioner-oriented, research-grounded guide that shows how nature dependencies and impacts flow into cash-flows, valuations, and portfolio construction. The book clarifies recognition and measurement pathways for natural capital on the balance sheet, designs high-integrity biodiversity credits, and operationalizes TNFD-aligned disclosure. It details the data and tech stack—satellites, geospatial analytics, and digital MRV—and links them to covenants, KPIs, and assurance. Cases from both developed and emerging markets illustrate blended finance for restoration, supplier due diligence, and claim substantiation. Each chapter integrates finance, measurement, governance, and audit so readers can move from aspiration to transactions.
