Possible Planet (USA)
The concept, PACE4Nature, is based on an existing successful model, Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE). PACE was heralded as one the top 20 world-changing idea of the 21st century, with over $6 billion in private capital already invested in solar, energy efficiency and resiliency measures in buildings in the US. PACE4Nature will be built around projects that generate predictable revenues sufficient to cover loan payments – ideally projects that are cashflow positive from the start. The project will survey the existing attempts to apply PACE-like concepts to conservation, develop illustrative or actual scalable models with input from stakeholders, and identify challenges that need to be resolved, including potential legislative issues. The outcome will be identification and in some cases, detailed profiles, of candidate projects, properties, lenders and conditions conducive to using PACE and PACE-like structures to regenerate ecosystems.
