A Landscape Scale Financing Mechanism
• Modelling Transition Costs to Sustainability • Application of US$1 – 2 billion Green Bonds
©2014 GLOBAL CANOPY PROGRAMME 5 ©2014 GLOBAL CANOPY PROGRAMME
Model the Cost of Transition at a Landscape Scale
1. Ecosystem Services

WHAT SCALE OF INVESTMENT? Institutional investors say Natural Capital projects are too small. They ideally need to invest at US$ 0.5 – 2 billion scale Transition costs of agriculture are ideal – needing upfront investments in sub-national regions costing 1-2 US$ billion - in Acre alone. Needs ‘patient capital’ over 20-30 years Capital markets could use large scale Green Bonds with transformation of sub-national economies

Community Monitoring Reporting & Verificaton - MRV
• Quantify change?
• Pay for Performance
• Who should benefit?
• Safeguards
©2014 GLOBAL CANOPY PROGRAMME 9 ©2014 GLOBAL CANOPY PROGRAMME
Top Down meets Bottom Up
• National MRV systems + Local C-MRV
• National = Remote Sensing / Space
• Needs “Ground Truth”
• Local = Verification + Incentives + Equity
• Communities well placed to provide this
• And receive benefits in return
