Our Roadmap to 2030New insights by our members Accelar reveal both rising interest and persistent confusion around investment options.
A recent survey launched at UKREiiF 2025 by Nature North and Accelar Limited, gathered views from organisations across the built environment and infrastructure sectors. The findings show a promising shift: businesses are increasingly recognising the wide-ranging value of nature-based projects, driven by factors such as climate urgency, brand alignment, regulatory compliance and growing expectations from customers and employees.
Yet despite this momentum, many organisations remain unsure how to navigate the complex landscape of funding mechanisms and nature investment schemes. The lack of a clear track record in nature investment is a key barrier, underscoring the need for simplification and better guidance
“We partnered with Nature North on this research to better understand how the built environment and infrastructure sector views UK nature. It’s encouraging to see that the industry and its investors increasingly recognise the co-benefits that nature delivers – something we prioritise when supporting organisations in their green transition.
At the same time, we recognise the need for collaborative action to make revenues and project impact easier to navigate.”
