Green bonds and integrated landscape management

The Netherlands Enterprise Agency and the Ministry of Economic Affairs commissioned IUCN NL to research how innovative financial instruments such as green bonds can help scaling up Integrated Landscape Management (ILM) initiatives in the Netherlands. Green bonds are fixed-income instruments that enable capital-raising and investment for new and existing projects with environmental benefits. This report shows that accessing capital markets through green bonds to finance landscape initiatives in the Netherlands is possible, but conditions apply.
