​TL;DR

​Nature-based investing is gaining traction, but measuring impact beyond carbon remains murky. This Ripple dives into how investors can set clear, actionable goals for biodiversity and ecosystem outcomes—and what frameworks are starting to lead the way.

​Topic overview

​Why is the topic relevant?

​Nature-based investing has become critical as biodiversity and ecosystems collapse globally. But defining clear, measurable, actionable goals beyond carbon reduction remains challenging.

​Participants will benefit by discussing and exploring frameworks, indicators, and approaches on how to navigate this complexity practically and effectively.

​What’s up for discussion?

• ​How do we measure real-world, significant environmental impact beyond carbon?

• ​Can nature-based metrics become as clear and actionable as CO₂ metrics?

• ​What frameworks are emerging as front-runners, and how practical are they?

• ​How do investors balance absolute, comparative, and relative significance?

• ​What role should context (geographical, ecological) play in determining impact? Or is reduced pressure enough to warrant investment?

​Dream outcome

​Increased shared understanding among investors and founders on how to effectively measure and communicate the real impacts of nature-based investing.

​Direct engagement with industry peers who bring diverse experiences and perspectives, helping us—and the wider climate tech community—accelerate towards more credible and impactful nature-based investing.

​Increasing the number of investments that are ecologically sustainable.

​Who should attend?

​Investors, fund managers, and analysts actively involved or interested in sustainability and biodiversity-focused investments.

​Founders and startups working in areas like ecosystem restoration, biodiversity enhancement, agriculture, forestry, water management, circular economy and industry.

​Experts from academia or NGOs specializing in nature-related metrics and standards (e.g., TNFD, SBTN, ESRS, Capitals Coalition).
