正文(英文) | New fund will provide grants of up to £100,000 to environmental groups, local authorities, businesses & other organisations Nature projects which tackle climate change, create and restore habitats, or improve water quality could soon benefit from a new £10 million fund to help them both benefit the environment and attract private sector investment, the Government has announced today (10 February). The Natural Environment Investment Readiness Fund will provide grants of up to £100,000 to environmental groups, local authorities, businesses and other organisations to help them develop nature projects in England to a point where they can attract private investment. This will create a pipeline of projects for the private sector to invest in, and develop new funding models that can be replicated elsewhere, demonstrating the UK’s leadership in nature finance in the run-up to COP26 in November. Examples of projects that could be eligible for the fund:
Environment Minister Rebecca Pow said:
Emma Howard Boyd, Chair of the Environment Agency, said:
The pioneering fund, which is being delivered by the Environment Agency on behalf of Defra, will help organisations get specialist advice, engage investors and build capacity to develop their project to the stage when it is ready to receive and repay investment. Projects need to be replicable and scalable, with key learnings made public to encourage similar approaches to access private sector finance for nature projects in future. Dr Rhian-Mari Thomas OBE, Chief Executive, Green Finance Institute, said:
The fund – which will be open for applications until 26 March – will help deliver on commitments in the government’s 25 Year Environment Plan and Green Finance Strategy, as well as supporting the Prime Minister’s 10 Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution. With the Dasgupta Review having recently made clear the value of nature to our economy and society, green finance will be essential to addressing the defining environmental challenges of our time, including climate change, moving to net zero, protecting biodiversity and improving the water environment. Further informationThe Fund has been designed by Defra and Environment Agency, working with HMT, Natural England and the Access Foundation for Social Investment. On behalf of Defra and the Environment agency, the Green Finance Institute led a series of educational workshops on the fund and is supporting during the application and awards process.
