RIP Dr. Jane Goodall.

Farmers are frontline climate actors. But resilience needs capital.

@farmingfirst.bsky.social reminds us: sustainable agriculture must be investable through blended finance, risk tools, and market access.

3. From Mapping to Mobilising

Mapping is just the start. Mobilise stakeholders through co-creation and shared ownership. That’s how bankable projects become resilient and impactful.

#ProjectFinance #NatureBasedSolutions #StakeholderStrategy

2. Know Their Interests

Effective engagement starts with understanding stakeholder interests. What motivates them? What concerns them? Tailor your approach to build alignment.

#StakeholderMapping #ImpactFinance #Collaboration

1. Early Engagement Matters

Engage stakeholders early to build trust and uncover risks before they escalate. Transparent dialogue leads to stronger partnerships and smoother project delivery.

#StakeholderEngagement #TrustBuilding #NatureFinance

Stakeholder mapping is key for bankable projects. Identify & engage local communities, gov’t, NGOs & private sector early for buy-in, risk management & impact.

We’ve added Urban Nature to our investment themes. It focuses on scaling nature-based solutions across cities to support biodiversity, resilience, and infrastructure.

We absolutely agree. Carbon credits aren’t the whole story. They are the icing on the cake (if at all). We focus on community-led revenue and businesses that benefit local people plus the many ecosystem services mangroves and other nature assets provide.

Bankable nature projects start with the land:

→ Biodiversity builds resilience

→ Community buy-in builds legitimacy

→ Risk clarity builds confidence

Together, they shape outcomes that last.

3️⃣ Risk Assessment
No bankability without risk clarity. Assess environmental & social risks upfront to avoid surprises and strengthen project resilience.

#NatureFinance #RiskAssessment #ESG #ProjectResilience #Bankability

2️⃣ Stakeholder Engagement
Bankable projects start with people. Engage communities early to build trust, align goals & unlock local insight. Co-creation leads to lasting impact.

#NatureFinance #StakeholderEngagement #CommunityLed #TrustBuilding #Bankability

1️⃣ Biodiversity & Ecosystem Services
Rich biodiversity = strong foundation for bankable nature projects. Ecosystem services like water purification & climate regulation boost long-term viability.

#NatureFinance #Biodiversity #EcosystemServices #Bankability #GreenProjects

Selecting the right landscape is key to bankable nature projects—look for biodiversity, strong local engagement & low risk. Build on solid ground for lasting impact.

Vietnam is aiming to scale seaweed and fast.

500K tons/year by 2030, 900K ha of coastline, and a national strategy to make seaweed a pillar of the blue economy.

Not a pilot. A pivot.

Wastewater: Money Down the Drain - Seneca Impact Advisors

We’re flushing value. 330 km³ of wastewater is produced annually, yet nearly half goes untreated. With proper investment, it could irrigate farms, fuel energy, and generate revenue. Wastewater isn’t waste.

Cambodia is cultivating #Circularity & #FoodSecurity. In Phnom Penh & Siem Reap, black soldier fly farming turns food waste into feed—low-cost, high-impact, deeply local. A small but strategic movement with regional momentum.

Aid is shifting from implementation to influence. Bilateral deals rise, multilateralism fades. Geopolitical risk reshapes development finance. Blended finance could help, but access is uneven.

The ocean economy is shifting and so is its workforce. In @earthorg.bsky.social, Genevieve Hilton aka Jan Lee, also an advisor to Seneca Impact Advisors, explores how sustainability is reshaping ocean industries and the skills needed to keep pace.

The landscape approach balances ecology, economy & equity…unlocking bankable, sustainable projects with real impact.

It’s the key to resilient development.

Start off right!

Groundwater depletion is a global crisis. While finance can’t refill aquifers, it can help reshape incentives—like paying for recharge, valuing water services, or co-financing nature-based solutions. We do finance, but this needs more than just money.

Powerful reporting by @ianjames.bsky.social

Powerful work from @rare.org. To scale climate resilience, we help make locally-led solutions finance-ready, unlocking ROI-seeking capital alongside direct support. Community-driven adaptation must be investable as well, to fill the financing gap.

#NatureFinance #ImpactInvesting #Bankability

Conservation finance must expand: locally-led monitoring is investable, scalable and underfunded. Direct support is vital, but so is unlocking ROI-seeking capital to back community-driven impact.

Shade-Grown Coffee: A Profitable, Planet-Friendly Perk - Seneca Impact Advisors

Shade-grown coffee shows how nature-positive farming can be both profitable and nature and climate-smart. A compelling case for agroforestry that benefits farmers, forests, and biodiversity. Read more below:

We agree with Beria Leimona on locally-led, landscape-scale climate action. With public finance in retreat, the real challenge now is unlocking more private capital to scale what works while staying grounded in equity and place.

These agroforestry models in Pará are quietly rewriting the rules. When restoration meets income, bankability follows. That’s exactly where we’re mobilising finance to help scale what works.

We agree. Lithium is vital, but not at the cost of ecosystems and communities. Seneca backs models that prove bankability AND integrity.

Restorative bivalve aquaculture shows real promise for climate and biodiversity. Unlocking private capital will require clear bankability. We need investable models that align ecological gains with financial returns to scale impact.

We’re looking forward to this issue! The cover alone says a lot. 2025 has pushed nonprofits and businesses like ours to rethink how we operate, and it’s clear that partnerships are becoming more than just a strategy. Curious to see how these stories are told when it drops on Tuesday.
