Building a stock exchange for nature recovery | Guy Thompson - EnTrade

Описание: Season 9 kicks off with a deep dive into nature finance, water, and market innovation, with Guy Thompson, MD at EnTrade.

After more than a decade advising the UK government at Natural England, Guy Thompson made a bold leap into the private sector. In this episode, he shares why he had to scratch the itch of building something new, and how that led him to co-found EnTrade, a pioneering platform driving market-based solutions for nature.

We unpack how EnTrade evolved from a Wessex Water incubator into an independent company, and how it’s forging unlikely partnerships, from start-up thinkers to giants like Arup, to link farmers, utilities, and developers in innovative new ways.

From biodiversity net gain in the UK planning system to bridging the £44 billion nature finance gap, Guy shares use cases from Somerset and beyond, showing how we can harness the power of water markets to deliver outcomes for nature, water quality, and climate.

We also reflect on the recently published Cunliffe Review, what’s working (and what’s not) in policy, and why EnTrade is looking to shake things up.

We’re delighted you can join us on this voyage of discovery, as we journey down The Stream.
