KNOW YOUR TERRITORY method

Collective challenges – such as shortcomings in land governance, insecurity, informality, illegality, and convoluted regulations – create an unfavorable business climate for advancing a green economy in the Amazon and other biomes where economic development and environmental preservation must be carefully balanced.

To tackle these barriers, the Igarapé Institute has launched the Green Bridge Facility (GBF), an impact-driven initiative designed to unlock responsible investment, accelerate Nature-based Solutions (NbS) enterprises and promote territorial prosperity in the short and long term. Through a territorial “de-risking” approach, GBF aims to lower operational, financial and reputational costs for responsible investors and high-integrity entrepreneurs. This enables them to “Know Your Territory,” “land” safely in selected areas and generate lasting, positive change for local communities across the Amazon and beyond.
