Believe the Nature Market enthusiasts when they tell you about the many & varied ways in which #NatureMarkets have repeatedly failed‼️ (they're experts at failure!)

LI post from Sophus zu Ermgassen Just seen the news that the asset manager partner has pulled out of the Scottish public-private partnership nature restoration fund claiming insufficient returns, which follows the withdrawal of the asset manager partner from the English public-private nature fund in the last couple of years. So why does this keep happening? Why do we keep on pushing the idea that de-risked public capital will be sufficient to attract private investment into UK nature when these de-risked public-private partnership funds keep collapsing? So what we all know is that we need to spend more on nature restoration and conservation, & need stricter regs that prevent the harm to nature in the first place and a massive reduction in public investment, i.e. harmful subsidies, that destroys nature in the first place. Within that framework, there are multiple different pathways to the future where the UK has the flourishing ecosystems written into policy. Logistically, the easiest is the public money for public goods approach, which says nature is a public good & should be funded through tax and spend, the agri-environment system and other grants (albeit with much better spatial targeting than we've ever had before). This is mostly how nature is funded today. But all of the ambitions around upscaling private investment in nature envision a different vision, where investing in nature delivers sufficient returns to attract large-scale institutional investment. What I think gets missed about this pathway is, although it's seen as a private sector-led approach for achieving conservation funding goals, it's actually not. It's public sector-led, but just with a different set of public policy interventions. It requires a revolutionary set of changes in regulations and incentives driven by public policy. It also requires substantial investment in getting them all off the ground. So it actually requires a large amount of public investment. So this is where I think we k…
Good post
Pity about the time, effort, mental, policy, & bureaucratic gymnastics to avoid this simple, robust conclusion:
"the easiest is the public money for public goods approach, which says nature is a public good & should be funded through tax & spend"

Have you contributed to the public consultation on how biodiversity quantification could be applied in #NatureMarkets under the #WoodlandCarbonCode and #PeatlandCode? Today (11.00 pm) is the last opportunity to add your thoughts bit.ly/40DlYyy
"ultimately arguing that increasing flexibility undermines the achievement of No Net Loss (or Net Gain) of #biodiversity where high-quality governance is lacking"
Would be really interested to hear examples with high-quality governance...

@euanritchie.bsky.social & I take a crack at the nonsensical distraction of promulgating half-baked #NatureMarkets as a 'key' to halting & repairing environmental decline
Far better to:
1️⃣ Stop nature negative activities, incl harmful subsidies
2️⃣ Support & invest in what we want more of
