Dear TF3 member,
Thanks for your participation to the general TF3 Meeting, Monday, April 04th from 3.30 – 5.00 CEST.
Please find the minutes, the slide-deck (presenting each Work-Stream (WS), please join the WSs you are interested in and participate to their next meetings presented in the minutes), the presentations (from Ben Hikmet (BwB and the EIB Study), Siobhan McQuaid (TCD and the project Connecting Nature) and Natalia Burgos (Urban Governance Atlas and Interlace)) made during the meeting on our TF3 Workspace on the NN-Platform: Task Force 3: Governance, Business Models and Financial Mechanisms | NetworkNature
I would like to underline the presentation done by Natalia Burgos, who is looking for inputs from your Projects for the Urban Governance Atlas!
Please consider also the call for NBS projects made by Ben Hikmet, see below:
In the framework of a market assessment project conducted on behalf of the European Investment Bank (EIB) on the topic of Nature-based Solutions (NBS) financing, Bankers without Boundaries is collecting information of currently existing projects at the EU level.
This project aims at identifying bankable NBS projects that will make up a project pipeline which will be put forward to the EIB as investable. Beyond the scope of this project, the EIB may look to invest in these projects in the future.The ideal development stage would be of at least 2/3 years with at least some proven financial viability (cash flow projections, receipts, business plan, expected IRR, NPV...). The investment size can ideally range from 1 to 10 million and cover all nature-based solutions fields (forestry, regenerative agriculture, blue economy).
Received projects will then be assessed for their financial and business risk viability by BwB free of charge, and will be added to the project pipeline presented to the EIB.
Please get in touch with us at NBS@bwbuk.org to apply for this project and share the information you currently dispose of (project presentation, financial documents, cash flow projections, previous grants/loans) or to ask us for further elements.
Our next TF3 Meeting will take place on Monday, May 30th 2022 from 3.30 till 5.00 CEST (you should receive an Outlook invitation (as a “save the date”) in the following days).
Please find also enclosed a save the date for an Event “call for action (standard for climate)” organised by the CENELEC Monday 23 May 2022 afternoon (online).
Please do not hesitate to come back to me for any suggestions or modifications to these minutes (this is very welcome).
All the best,
Matthieu
