Webinar: Public-private partnerships to finance EU nature restoration

With the incoming implementation of the Nature Restoration Regulation, EU Member States are facing many challenges in the establishment of national strategies and action plans on nature restoration. In this context, the BiodivRestore Knowledge Hub, a group of experts supporting the Nature Restoration Regulation, published four policy briefs providing recommendations for successful restoration operations at national level, part of the Nature Restoration Regulation Policy Briefs series.

In this webinar, Shane Mc Guiness (University College Dublin), Judith Fisher (The University of Western Australia), and Tom Wild (University of Sheffield), all BiodivRestore Knowledge Hub experts, introduce the Policy Brief “Enabling Public-Private Partnerships to Finance EU Nature Restoration“.

The brief explores how public-private partnerships (PPPs) can mobilise private capital for nature restoration. The European Commission’s Roadmap towards Nature Credits estimates a €65 billion annual nature investment gap. Private financing will be key to closing this gap. Well-designed PPPs offer a tested mechanism to do so, ensuring restoration delivers measurable ecological, social, and economic benefits.

Watch the replay to learn more about:

• the financing context for nature restoration;
• enablers and constraints for private sector financing;
• how to design Public-Private Partnerships;
• practical recommendations for policymakers to integrate PPPs at European level.
