Governments
Governments around the world are designing market-based mechanisms to drive particular environmental outcomes. Often a crucial component is ensuring that policy measures or scheme rules will sufficiently attract private sector investment. New Forests' combined skills in investment strategy and environmental markets allow for a multi-factor analysis of how private investors may react to scheme elements and if those actions will deliver the environmental benefits governments are trying to achieve. Whether governments are looking to increase reforestation on marginal land or protect native habitats in high development areas, New Forests can provide insight into commercial investment decision making and operational forestry issues. In particular, the company is developing expertise in South East Asia and the Asia Pacific and taking on the challenges of operating commercial forestry operations in developing countries.
