The Natural Resources Finance Initiative (NRFI) conducts interdisciplinary research that bridges the gap between environmental science, finance, and policy.

Our work explores how market-based approaches can enhance conservation, manage risk, and promote sustainable investment in natural resources and encompasses a broad range of fields, including ecology, climate change, forest management, forestry policy, watershed management, wildfire management, invasive species, silviculture, hydrology, soil science, and natural resource economics and finance.
