Bridging the Divide – How to Link Nature and Financial Systems
summary
Argues for a regulated infrastructure that actually counts nature risks: a proposed green ledger and “green tokens” attach audited CO2 and environmental KPIs to individual supply‑chain transactions, enabling finance to price nature. Cites ECB analysis that 75% of loans are dependent on ecosystem services and projects CO2 abatement could eclipse oil markets around €200/ton. Calls for harmonized, decision‑relevant metrics (not averages), phased rollout driven by regulators, and warns current disclosure and incentives are insufficient despite available technology.
