A plan that cannot be financed is not a plan
Landscape Indonesia is currently developing LIFE to assist and facilitate environmental and social entrepreneurs. Eventually, the incubation program will be equipped with a Fund to provide financial resources for environmental and social business.
The multiple goals in sustainable landscape management require an innovative financing structure, in most cases unique for different landscapes. In general the structure combines public and private sources, short- and long-term tenures, low- and high-risks, and grant and commercial financing — blended with new sources of value such as carbon assets, water sources, and fire management.
Incubation
Technical assistance for environmental and social entrepreneurs: business model, measurement, governance, and the evidence investors ask for.
Structuring
Blending grant, concessional and commercial money against the risk and tenure a given landscape actually carries.
The Fund
In development: a dedicated fund to provide financial resources for environmental and social business.
