Redesigning Capital

Design

SCR 3 - SEPT 2025

Finance for Nature is a project dedicated to reimagining how financial systems interact with the Earth. At its core, the initiative seeks to return financing back to the land, ensuring that investments support ecological regeneration rather than extraction. It challenges conventional models of resource exploitation, keeping gold in the ground, protecting ecosystems, and designing economic structures that do not deplete natural or social wealth. By exploring innovative, non-extractive approaches to capital, Finance for Nature aims to align financial flows with the long-term health of the planet, creating systems that benefit both communities and the environment.
