Summary

Machine-generated summary

The buyer, Natural England, seeks the development and supply of an interactive online game about nature finance project development. The self-contained game lets players virtually develop nature recovery projects funded through private and blended finance, using the GFI Investment Readiness Toolkit as a framework. Players choose a seller or buyer role, then work through scenarios covering the full project journey from initial development to signing legal documents and work starting on the ground. Each scenario must be completed satisfactorily to progress, with explanations given for correct and incorrect completions and, where possible, multiple valid solutions. The game focuses on roles Natural England staff play, while remaining usable by Environment Agency and Forestry Commission staff in nature finance roles.

Description

A self-contained nature finance game that allows players to virtually develop nature recovery projects funded using private and blended finance. Using the GFI Investment Readiness Toolkit as a framework the game will start by presenting players with options such as whether they want to play a seller or buyer, followed by various seller or buyer scenarios. Once a player has picked a role they will be taken through the process of developing a nature recovery project using private and blended finance from the start through to signing legal documents and the work starting on the ground. They will do this by working through a series of scenarios. They will have to complete every scenario satisfactorily to be able to move onto the next scenario. Reasons for not completing a scenario properly will be given, as will explanations of why they have completed a scenario correctly. Where possible there will be more than one correct way to complete a scenario. The game will be for Natural England so will focus on the roles that NE staff are likely to play at each stage of a projects development but will also be able to be used by Environment Agency and Forestry Commission staff carrying out nature finance related roles.
