The Sustainable Landscape Finance Coalition's Finance Solution Approach® is a four-stage framework (Incubation, Strategic Development, Piloting, and Scalability) designed to develop viable finance solutions for landscapes. By identifying 'building blocks' and conducting viability checks before piloting, the approach aims to reduce costs and failures while increasing the ability to scale successful conservation finance innovations across different contexts.

• The Finance Solution Approach® consists of a four-stage process designed to ensure the viability of finance solutions before they are piloted, which facilitates lasting change and the transferability of solution building blocks to increase scale. This approach is versatile and can be integrated into various landscapes, entities, and projects.
• The first stage, Incubation, uses Finance Solution Incubators to investigate specific finance solutions without cost. These incubators use leading specialists and framing questions to determine if a solution possesses the necessary building blocks for implementation. An example is the BMA Tax Incentive Incubator, which moved from investigation to piloting in less than one year.
• The second stage, Strategic Development, focuses on creating Feasibility Studies and Finance Strategies to map out implementation and assess viability. Finance Strategies may be applied to entire landscapes, specific organisations, or individual projects, while Feasibility Studies target specific interventions within defined contexts to ensure they are viable before piloting.
• The third stage, Piloting, implements finance strategies or feasibility studies in selected landscapes to test practical application. To avoid the high costs and delays often associated with unsuccessful pilots, the approach requires that viability checks from the incubation and strategic development stages are completed; if critical building blocks are missing, the pilot will not proceed.
• The final stage, Scalability, aims to address finance shortfalls for sustainability and conservation by scaling successful innovations. This is achieved by mainstreaming successful pilots to applicable landscapes and clearly illustrating the essential building blocks so they can be assessed and replicated elsewhere.
