The emerging Co-Investing in Nature Operating System is a practical discipline for making catalytic funding and contribution capital easier to deploy alongside public funding, environmental markets, beneficiary funding and finance.
Much of the practice already exists.
Water funds, Indigenous-led funds, jurisdictional programs, conservation funds, public payment systems, carbon programs, blended-finance vehicles and other approaches already contain strong solutions to parts of the problem.
COIN works to find those practices, understand why they work, make recurring patterns more visible and reusable, and test them through real funding decisions.
Reference Architecture + Architecture Cases
Understand the functions strong systems perform, how they connect, and what real mechanisms can teach others.
Funding Blueprints
Capture recurring funding mechanics without stripping away the governance and context that make them work.
COIN Design Lab
Work on live cases with partners who already hold the relevant expertise, relationships and institutional authority.
The objective is not to impose a COIN model. Sometimes a new arrangement is useful. Sometimes an existing mechanism already solves most of the problem. The work is to understand what fits and make the next decision better.
