GFSC Updates Natural Capital Fund Rules And Guidance

The Natural Capital Fund framework rules and guidance have been updated to better reflect international agreements.

At the end of last year, governments from around the world came together at the COP15 to agree on a new set of goals to guide global action in halting and reversing nature loss by 2030.

The Guernsey Financial Services Commission launched the Natural Capital Fund in September 2022 as part of the growing Guernsey Sustainable Funds Regime. The fund helps channel investment into biodiversity and natural capital projects that make a positive contribution and/or significantly reduce harm to the natural world. This provides environmentally conscious investors with assurance that their capital is deployed in efforts to promote the protection and recovery of the Earth's natural environment.
