From Risk to Returns: How to Structure Risk-Aware Nature-Based Investments & Carbon Credit Contracts
Published by Liling Koh

As nature-based solutions (NbS) move into the mainstream, buyers and investors are under growing pressure to understand and manage risk—not avoid it. This webinar explores how leading market participants are shifting from high-level risk awareness to practical, risk-aware deal structuring.
We’ll break down how NbS project risks can be identified early, translated into financial terms, and reflected in contracts, pricing, and credit quality. Expect concrete examples of risk-adjusted offtake agreements, evolving investor expectations, and what strong due diligence looks like in today’s carbon and nature markets.
Join us in this 1 hour webinar and gain insights into:
How specific NbS risks map to financial outcomes (price, buffers, contract length)
Examples of risk-adjusted offtake and investment structures
What investors increasingly expect in investment committee memos
How better due diligence reduces cost of capital and renegotiation risk
Whether you’re investing in, buying from, or developing nature projects, this session will help you connect risk management to real outcomes: more resilient returns, lower cost of capital, and fewer surprises down the line.
