The IFB Programme has secured an additional £50,000 of funding from NERC to identify synergies across the programme and map the emerging research landscape. The work will take a broad view of the biodiversity–finance landscape, looking beyond current IFB work to identify future research priorities that meet the needs of policy and business.
A 3‑day workshop will bring together researchers and stakeholders to develop a priority research agenda for nature finance. It will explore the current research landscape, identify key evidence gaps, and hear from policy and business stakeholders about their needs - using these insights to shape a forward‑looking agenda. This work will take a broad view of the biodiversity–finance landscape, looking beyond current IFB work to identify future research priorities that meet the needs of policy and business.
With this additional NERC funding, we have a unique moment to step back, join the dots across the programme, and set a bold, strategic direction for biodiversity–finance research in the UK.
