Unlocking Finance for Nature-based Carbon Projects along the Capital Continuum, outlines how high-integrity carbon finance can catalyze and sustain landscape-scale climate solutions. It highlights the challenges of early-stage funding gaps, market volatility, and investor risk aversion, while presenting the Capital Continuum Framework (CCF) as a roadmap for matching evolving risks with the right financial instruments. By combining the Five Pillars of investment readiness with principles of structuring integrity, the framework ensures projects are not only technically feasible but also investable and resilient over the long term. Ultimately, the paper provides a blueprint for moving nature-based carbon projects from fragile concepts to scalable, bankable assets that deliver climate impact, biodiversity gains, and community benefits
