London, 19 September 2024 – Neter, a new company focused on mobilising capital markets to protect Earth’s biosphere launched today, with the aim of reshaping how capital markets engage with environmental protection and sustainability. Neter’s strategy focuses on developing financial instruments that more closely align nature-based assets with capital markets to achieve financial and nature-positive returns.
Mandated Net Zero targets for 2030 and 2050, ESG obligations, and other regulations require industries and businesses to demonstrate positive action with respect to mitigating environmental (climate) threats. Beyond reporting on, and offsetting, carbon emissions there is an equally pressing imperative to protect Earth’s biosphere from continuing degradation and potentially irrevocable damage.
Neter’s strategy will leverage fiscal policies and regulatory frameworks and mandates to influence and drive adoption of new financial mechanisms for capital investment that have a direct, positive impact on the environment. By expounding the value and benefits of nature as an investable asset, Neter aims to work with capital markets partners to unlock innovative financing solutions and create investment opportunities aimed at the collective financial markets community beyond ‘green’ investors.
Seth Elliott, CEO of Neter, said: “It’s more than Net Zero. There are a multitude of declining environmental and natural assets that could be preserved, protected, and improved with greater capital markets engagement and support.
“Economic and market forces continue to inflict enormous damage on the natural world – and adjacent communities – in the pursuit of financial gain. Outside of carbon reduction targets and emissions reporting, there is a growing imperative to mobilise global capital markets to more directly align with nature-positive funding and investment opportunities. Neter aims to be at the forefront of this transformative movement and moment in capital market development.”.
