White paper: options and financial mechanisms for the financing of biodiversity offsets

This White Paper focuses almost exclusively on how greater demand for offsets can be generated and sustained and how offset supply can be safeguarded by a variety of financing products categorised under three distinct pillars, including upfront capital, ongoing finance, and financial guarantees. Central to the conclusions of the report are mechanisms such as third-party funding institutions including Conservation Trust Funds (CTFs), and financial guarantees or insurance products.
