Smart Policy Can Unlock Advantage
Canada’s Nature Advantage shows nature’s true value as the foundation of Canada’s economy, and champions policies that enable forward-thinking corporations to invest in it.
Targeted policy can create markets and mechanisms that reflect nature’s value and reward businesses investing in its protection, sustainable use, and improvement.
Policy Solutions
Financial Incentives.
Tax credits and loan guarantees can help farmers, foresters, and Indigenous businesses retool their operations and invest in new business models.
Credit Markets.
Fully functioning credit markets can reward producers for improving the way they manage soils and forests.
Financing.
Helping Indigenous nations access the capital to buy and manage forest tenures for the long-term benefit of communities.
Unlocking Opportunity.
With the right policy levers, these investments can attract billions in private capital while recognizing that Canada’s land-based sectors, such as forest management, farming, and natural resources, are the bedrock of leading industries, have major potential to lower emissions, support healthy ecosystems, and must be fully integrated into policies for clean and resilient growth. Canada can’t afford to leave this economic and environmental opportunity on the table.
