Seneca focuses on financial innovation to expand investment opportunities in nature-positive projects beyond traditional capital structures. We help define both financial and non-financial objectives and identify mechanisms to fund them in coordination with funders and key stakeholders.
A well-structured project or facility may incorporate equity, debt, grants, concessionary funding, guarantees, or insurance to catalyse return-seeking investments. These mechanisms can unlock profitable pathways for nature and climate-aligned initiatives.
To address the funding gap for commercially viable nature and climate projects, Seneca designs tailored financing solutions. These may include blended finance, project finance for permanence, payments for ecosystem services, debt-for-nature swaps, insurance instruments, carbon and biodiversity offsets, outcome-based financing, green and blue bonds, sustainability-linked bonds and loans, and other emerging tools suited to specific contexts. This work often involves understanding policy and regulatory frameworks, identifying legal opportunities, and assembling the right consortium partners.
We design new mechanisms and aliiances that unlock capital for nature and resilience, often where traditional finance falls short.
