Summary 63 New woodland and nature financing â the bottlenecks and opportunities explored Briel, J. van den and M. Boosten (Probos Foundation) InnovationNetwork Report No. 11.2.249, Utrecht, The Netherlands, June 2011. In the Netherlands, but also internationally, there is a growing demand for sustainable and renewable materials and fuels. In addition, people are looking for solutions to climate and environment problems (CO2 capture/storage, particle capture, water treatment, etc) while society also feels an increasing need for a more sustainable and healthy environment for homes, work and recreation. Woodland and nature areas â besides acting as a habitat for plants and animals â provide many of these products and (ecosystem) services. The problem is that many of these services are not or insufficiently financed, either via the private market (in the form of payment for goods and services) or via public funding (e.g. subsidies). A just, stable, socially-accepted and, hence, contemporary payment for this function is essential to ensure that the preservation and usage of woodland and nature areas are optimally in line with the priorities and needs of society. Accordingly, it is necessary to develop new methods of financing the products and services that woodland and nature supply to society. Probos carried out an exploratory study on behalf of InnovationNetwork to identify the bottlenecks and opportunities for financing woodland and nature in the Netherlands. This exploratory study consisted of 4 steps. Pagina 71
