The Nature Recovery Financial Allocation and Monitoring Service

金融利益攸关方、地方自然恢复战略（LNRS）和LNRS合作伙伴都想知道如何最好地在针对生物多样性净收益、野化、和自然洪水管理。市场上没有单一的服务可以帮助这些利益相关者在这些项目的资金分配决策过程中（或者如何监视在实现之后返回到环境的值）。虽然这些利益相关者有不同的动机，但他们通常会在不同的时间一起工作，谈判和游说。同样，生物多样性净收益、野化和自然洪水管理在这一领域都是相对较新的概念，需要广大利益相关者不断反馈和改进财务分配和监测过程，以推动和维持标准和投资效率。因此，一个包含多层次考虑的财政分配和监测服务将是证明内部和外部投资合理性的根本，这些投资将平衡自然和财政的需要以及更广泛的可持续性要求-例如就业。这个问题本质上是空间性的，需要一个空间决策支持工具，以便对环境有益的项目进行战略投资。该项目将开发和展示一种创新的解决方案，将气候和环境因素纳入金融服务部门。我们将这项服务称为自然恢复财务分配和监测服务（NR-FAMS）。Sparkgeo是一家地理空间服务公司，拥有一支全球开发人员团队，他们是设计，部署和使用云和开放技术的专家。Sparkgeo UK团队由具有软件、地理、地球观测和地理空间技能的工作人员组成。Sparkgeo创建了“粘合代码”，使不同的地理空间数据能够满足各个客户的特定需求。Sparkgeo在将传统数据转换为现代机器可读目录、将不同数据源标准化为通用开放标准以及向用户提供大量原始数据和衍生数据方面拥有丰富的经验。Sparkgeo英国公司将与HSW（Hill，Stone & Wood Ltd）合作，后者将为金融行业用户和业务发展提供访问权限。Sparkgeo将专注于技术方面。

Financial stakeholders, the Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS) and LNRS partners all want to know how best to allocate funds between projects targeting issues such as biodiversity net gain, rewilding, and natural flood management.There is no single service on the market that helps such stakeholders with their decision process on the allocation of monies for these projects (or how to monitor the value returned to the environment following implementation). Though these stakeholders have different motives they will often be working together, negotiating, and lobbying each other at different times. Equally, biodiversity net gain, rewilding, and natural flood management are all relatively new concepts in this space and constant feedback and evolution of the financial allocation and monitoring process will be needed among the broad group of stakeholders to push and maintain standards and investment effectiveness. Thus, a financial allocation and monitoring service that incorporates many layers of consideration will be fundamental for justifying internal and external investments that balance the needs of nature and finance and broader sustainability requirements - such as jobs. The problem is inherently spatial, and a spatial decision support tool is required to allow strategic investment in environmentally beneficial projects. This project will develop and demonstrate an innovative solution that integrates climate and environmental factors into the financial services sector. We call this service the Nature Recovery Financial Allocation and Monitoring Service (NR-FAMS).Sparkgeo is a geospatial services company that maintains a global team of developers who are specialists at designing, deploying and using cloud and open technologies. The Sparkgeo UK team comprises staff with software, geography, Earth observation and geospatial skills. Sparkgeo creates the "glue code" that makes different geospatial data work for the particular needs of individual clients. Sparkgeo has experience in transforming legacy data into modern machine readable catalogues, normalising different sources of data to common open standards, and serving very large amounts of raw and derived data to users.Sparkgeo UK will collaborate with HSW (Hill, Stone & wood Ltd) who will provide access to the financial sector users and business development. Sparkgeo will focus on the technical aspects.
