Taskforce on
Nature Markets
Shaping a new generation of nature markets that delivers nature positive and equitable outcomes
Disregard and
destruction of nature
Nature and its contributions have historically been mis-valued, and its economic benefits inequitably distributed. Our current model sees the economy outside of nature and treats it as an afterthought.
A surge in the
monetarisation of nature
The increasing value attributed to nature could make a major positive difference, but unchecked monetarisation of nature could result in another round of nature-destructive and inequitable outcomes.
An historic opportunity
The future of the global economy and livelihoods depends on a living and thriving nature. By placing nature and equity at the heart of nature markets, we can reset the relationship between us, our global economy, and nature.
What are Nature Markets?
Three key types of nature markets, highlighting their breadth and diversity.
- Intrinsic markets - the trade of nature itself e.g. food, nature-based medical products, wood products, the sale of sand, earth and minerals, the nature value of tourism
- Offset markets - investments and/or trade in aspects of nature to offset a negative impact elsewhere e.g. emerging biodiversity credit markets
- Derivative markets - trade instruments that reflect the value of nature embodied in the underlying economic assets and enterprises e.g. nature-related risk markets, non-fungible tokens (NFTs)
