Perspectives on the UK Natural Capital Sector for Foreign Investors

Natural Capital is a growing asset class for investors and large corporates looking to meet their regulatory obligations around biodiversity and carbon emissions. England is one of the first jurisdictions to impose biodiversity net gain obligations on most new developments in the country, with additional obligations entering into force later this year. How should foreign investors evaluate opportunities in UK Natural Capital? What makes nature credits look like an infrastructure asset class, and where is the pipeline? How does the UK's regulatory framework compare to emerging regimes in other jurisdictions? What progress is being made in the UK around nature based solutions as the answer to the practical impact of climate change? In connection with New York Climate Week, Jones Day would be delighted if you could join us for a curated panel discussion addressing these questions, followed by rooftop sundown drinks. Our panelists—spanning development, investment, legal, and integrity perspectives—will share practical insights on the UK as a natural capital test market and the opportunities it presents for U.S. capital. 4:30 p.m. Welcome 5:00 p.m. Panel Discussion 6:00 p.m. Rooftop Drinks 8:00 p.m. Close
