We were pleased to support the Hong Kong Green Finance Association’s (HKGFA) webinar on mobilising sustainable finance for nature, where the new report was officially launched. Our contribution to the report focused on the practical conditions needed to turn nature focused ideas into investable projects in Asia, drawing on our work across land use, freshwater, and coastal ecosystems.
Our Director of Research and Investments Stanley Tsai represented us as moderator of the panel discussion, guiding a very grounded conversation on how nature positive investments can move from concept to implementation. Under his moderation, panelists explored what actually makes projects bankable in the region, from clearer performance metrics to risk sharing structures and the role of adaptation technologies. Stanley kept the discussion focused on solutions and on what investors and project developers need to work together effectively.
For us, the importance of the report and webinar goes beyond the knowledge shared. Both platforms helped reinforce a core message we see every day in our work: nature projects only gain traction when financial structures, community needs, and ecological outcomes are aligned from the start. The report reflects this reality by highlighting what is already working across Asia, and the webinar provided an opportunity to showcase how these insights can translate into real projects on the ground. This is exactly the space Seneca operates in, and we see these dialogues as essential to building a stronger pipeline of investable nature initiatives across the region.
Our involvement in both the report and the webinar reflects our ongoing commitment to building real, investable pathways for nature finance in Asia.
