Building convergence to scale high integrity nature credit markets

Europe House 32 Smith Square London

Wednesday 24th June 2026
London (UK)

A high-level event exploring how nature credit markets can drive investment in biodiversity through stronger policy and market design.
Nature credit markets are evolving rapidly, with growing interest from governments, investors, businesses and conservation leaders seeking credible mechanisms to finance biodiversity protection and restoration at scale.

This high-level convening – co-organised by the Delegation of the EU to the UK, The International Institute for Environment and Development, International Advisory Panel on Biodiversity Credits, Biodiversity Credit Alliance, Green Finance Institute, UNEP Finance Initiative and Terassos – brings together financial institutions, policymakers, market developers, conservation organisations and practitioners to explore how greater convergence across policy, market architecture and high-integrity project supply can accelerate the growth of high integrity nature credit markets.

Through three interactive panel discussions and audience engagement, the event will examine:

The business case for investing in biodiversity and nature credits
The role of high-integrity supply in stimulating market demand
Emerging policy frameworks and market architecture needed for market activation
Lessons from Latin America, East Africa and other global South initiatives, and
The connection between nature credits, sustainable supply chains and resilient business operations.
The event is designed for a broad audience across the nature finance ecosystem, including:

Investors and asset managers
Corporates and supply-chain leaders
Policymakers and regulators
Conservation practitioners, and
NGOs and research institutions.
The programme will include opportunities for audience participation and open discussion on key questions shaping the future of nature markets.

Please note pre-registration is required for access to Europe House at 32 Smith Square. The venue is wheelchair-accessible.
