CAPITAL STRUCTURE DESIGN • DE-RISKING • MECHANISM DEVELOPMENT
Seneca focuses on financial innovation to expand investment opportunities in nature-positive projects and advance the broader nature finance market. We help define both financial and non-financial objectives and identify mechanisms to fund them in coordination with funders and key stakeholders.
Seneca designs blended finance structures that enable co-investment through a mix of concessionary capital, debt, equity, guarantees, insurance, and impact investment capital. By combining different sources of funding and allocating risks appropriately, these structures can unlock new investment opportunities and create commercially viable 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 project finance for permanence, payments for ecosystem services, debt-for-nature swaps, insurance instruments, carbon credits or offsets, biodiversity credits or offsets, outcome-based financing, green and blue bonds, sustainability-linked bonds and loans, and other emerging tools suited to specific contexts.
We design new mechanisms and alliances that unlock capital for nature and resilience, often where traditional finance falls short.
