Meta-Registry for Ecosystem Services
Background
As part of the WALD initiative of Rentenbank and KfW, Unique explored the development of a digital platform to mobilize private capital for the restoration and enhancement of ecosystem services. This platform will be a key tool for promoting investment in ecosystem services projects and facilitating collaboration between actors. Unique was commissioned to conduct a feasibility study in consortium with Climate Focus. This study analyzed and evaluated the need and possible implementation of the digital platform for German ecosystem services projects and stakeholders.
