Our Approach - Blue Green Future

A New Economic Model
Blue Green Future is designing a new relationship between finance and the living world. It allows markets to recognize the economic value of carbon sequestration, biodiversity protection, and ecosystem health.
OUR PORTFOLIO

Core Principles

Markets that can regenerate and not destroy operate under three conditions:

1 Never sell the underlying asset

2 Money goes back to nature in perpetuity

3

Local communities steward, benefit and lead in perpetuity

By valuing the living services of nature it becomes a market which regenerates.
This has been a missing market…

From extractive to regenerative

Our approach shifts from depleting nature to restoring it so that economies grow, communities prosper, and ecosystems thrive.

Early access for investors

Our novel living nature market investment structure enables investors to finance these projects in their infancy. Investors then capitalise on the future value of the carbon, nature and biodiversity credits.

Nature wealth funds

Nature wealth funds are established to ensure the long-term flow of funding to nature and stewards of nature

Connecting Ecology with Economy

We bridge the gap by;

1 Validating nature-based projects through best-in-class science and methodology

2 Designing attractive, secure and independently verified investment models that support ecosystem regeneration

3 Connecting a global learning network of investors, scientists, and practitioners

4 Centering Indigenous and local stewards as true owners, partners and beneficiaries

So how exactly does the Blue Green Model work?

The impulse to regenerate nature is not new. For decades, we’ve looked to charity, policy and carbon markets to reverse nature’s decline. But the data is clear: none of them are working at the pace and scale we need.

Since the 1970s, climate agreements have been signed, NGOs have been funded, and billions of dollars have flowed through carbon markets. Yet deforestation continues, extinction rates accelerate, and ecosystems edge closer to collapse.

Why? Because none of these mechanisms address the root problem: nature is still economically invisible.

A Visible Trusted Model

Firstly, asset ownership must be defined.
A critical feature of the Blue Green Model is that the underlying land is never sold. Rather, the eco-system services provided on land and in the ocean are valued and then invested in. Clear legal ownership of the natural asset is essential. Without it, markets can’t function. Before any project begins, legal ownership of the land is verified and / or codified into law.

The assets’ health and potential are then assessed.
Ecologists and climate scientists study the asset’s health, physiology, and historical extent. They identify risks and restoration potential, and then set a scientific baseline for growth and projections for carbon sequestration.

Then the project can begin.
Project developers define carbon methodologies, protection and restoration plans, and long-term interventions aligned with best-available science.

Progress can now be monitored on a secure digital ledger.

All project actions, from ownership proof to credit issuance, are recorded on a secure digital ledger. This creates confidence and transparency that actions are being taken, stewards are being paid, KPIs are being met, carbon sequestration is verified.

Forward contracts can be issued.

As soon as basic project claims are verified. A crucial part of the Blue Green Future model is that funds are brought in early by providing investors with project transparency, price discounting, and projections of yields. Forward contracts are offered, allowing investors to purchase future carbon credits at today’s prices. This flips the traditional model, delivering capital to communities early while offering attractive returns.

Assurance and Insurance.

PwC / KPMG/ EY engage in financial advisory and assurance services, while insurance companies such as Lloyds insure credits for operational, political and weather-related risks.

The Role of Indigenous Communities

Blue Green Future has some critical points of departure from traditional carbon credit models. Indigenous communities have all too frequently been pushed, harassed or sidelined by conservation efforts.

This is not only unethical, but also illogical. Indigenous land preservation practices and ecological knowledge is integral to conservation. In the BlueGreen Model, indigenous and local communities are the owners, designers and core beneficiaries.

The Role of Technology

Coalition members use cutting edge science tools to monitor living ecosystems. Light detection, underwater sensors, AI-powered satellite analysis, and even shark-mounted cameras (used to map seagrass in the Bahamas) all contribute to a holistic understanding of nature's ecosystem services.
