From Nature’s Minsky Moment to Nature Equity (IMAGE)
Caption
This conceptual diagram illustrates the pathway outlined in the study “Nature’s Minsky Moment, NatureFinTech and the world’s next asset class.” (DOI: 10.26599/TRCN.2025.9550018)
It shows how the systemic under-valuation of natural capital creates rising macro-financial risk, why existing carbon- and project-based instruments are insufficient at scale, and how advances in NatureFinTech enable continuous, high-resolution measurement of ecosystem integrity. These measurement capabilities allow ecosystem condition to serve as the underlying for Nature Equity, an outcome-based asset class that treats nature as critical infrastructure and enables scalable capital flows into ecosystem stewardship, reducing systemic financial risk.
