This report investigates the rationale, feasibility, and implications of integrating nature-related risks into the Low-Income Country Debt Sustainability Framework (LIC-DSF). The LIC-DSF is a core tool for assessing debt vulnerabilities in low-income countries (LICs), with significant influence on IMF-World Bank surveillance, concessional financing terms, and broader macroeconomic policy frameworks, as well as private investment and costs of capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
