Earth.org has published a new article written by Seneca advisor Geneviève Hilton, featuring commentary from Managing Director Jean‑Marc Champagne. The piece highlights the widening imbalance between harmful financial flows and investments that support nature.
This imbalance reflects the challenges that have shaped Seneca’s work since its founding. Even as nature‑positive financing grows, global financial systems continue to direct significantly more capital toward activities that degrade ecosystems. Seneca’s work focuses on shifting this reality by identifying landscapes where nature and economic opportunity align, developing investable project pipelines, and working with partners to convert early concepts into credible, finance‑ready opportunities. The analysis in the article reinforces why this approach matters. Capital allocation remains one of the strongest tools available to shift outcomes for nature, and demand for scalable and investable NbS projects across Asia continues to expand.
The findings also align with what Seneca has observed through three years of work across multiple geographies. Governments, communities, and private actors throughout the region are looking for practical models that link conservation outcomes with resilient local development. Through project scoping, origination, and long‑term structuring, Seneca continues to help convert this demand into opportunities capable of mobilizing aligned capital and delivering measurable impact. The trends highlighted in the article underscore both the urgency of the challenge and the scale of what is possible.
