Financing Soil Remediation: Exploring the use of financing instruments to blend public and private capital

This report by the International Institute for Sustainable Development presents 17 case studies on financing instruments that blend public and private capital to fund the remediation of contaminated soil, as part of a broader four-year project titled 'Financing Models for Soil Remediation'.

• The report explores innovative financing approaches to attract private capital for land remediation and redevelopment, noting that the business case for private participation relies on value capture from increased retail land prices and business opportunities post-remediation. In instances where land value capture is low or revenue streams are uncertain, governments must rely on public budgets for remediation before seeking private partners for 'fit for purpose' land use.
• The document is part of a four-year project called 'Financing Models for Soil Remediation', which aims to utilize green finance vehicles and approaches to manage risk and fund the cleanup of contaminated soils.
