Conservation Finance in Practice: CPIC Blueprint Replication - Guarantee-backed Lending for Clean Textile Production.
Joint CPIC and CFA webinarCPIC
The Coalition for Private Investment in Conservation (CPIC) is a global, multi-stakeholder initiative focused on enabling conditions that support a material increase in private investment in conservation. To increase deal flow in conservation, CPIC develops replicable, scalable investment "blueprints" for delivering risk-adjusted returns from specific types of investment in natural capital. Replication of business and investment models is key to leverage experience and scale impact across geographies. To date CPIC has released twelve blueprints available in a short 2 page and long format.
Kieron Brand, Bankable Lead: Freshwater at WWF Netherlands will speak about the CPIC blueprint on Guarantee-backed Lending for Clean Textile Production, prepared by WWF. WWF has gone on to replicate this "blueprinted approach", after successful initial implementation in Turkey, in similar settings in India, Viet Nam, Pakistan, Myanmar and Thailand. Jim Stephenson, Director at Terranomics Limited, will highlight approaches on how to replicate blueprints, based on his experience developing CPIC's Conservation Investment Blueprints Development Guide.
