This Ripple brought together individuals from investment, research, and startups to explore what it truly means to support nature, both for business and for the planet. They traded ideas on how tech, finance, policy, and real-world action all need to mesh for real results.

Some clear takeaways:

• There’s value in blending nature with technology for new investment models.

• Just measuring or monitoring nature isn’t enough, someone needs to pay for lasting results.

• Governments and big companies both have a big role, but real change depends on people caring (and voting).

• How we price nature’s benefits must change, moving away from just “resource extraction”.

• It’s tough to scale up solutions in farming and conservation unless the money and motivation are both right.

Bottom line? Ripple’s crew found that real impact comes when smart investment, policy, and local action line up - not just from big ideas or new gadgets.
