Nature Finance events

To celebrate this year’s London Climate Action Week (LCAW), the REA has partnered with ISFC (International Sustainable Forestry Coalition) to host an event focusing on the fifth theme of this year’s LCAW – “Delivering a Nature Positive Future – Unifying climate, nature and biodiversity to move beyond net zero to a nature positive future that protects and repairs”

The Nature Hub is back at London Climate Action Week, leading up to New York Climate Week and COP30, to explore how private sector investments in nature can help deliver business resilience, while also generating long-term value.

The event – followed by an evening drinks reception – will explore critical issues in the lead-up to COP30. Panellists will present innovative, scalable solutions, while a curated audience of 350 private sector leaders will assess the feasibility of financing these initiatives. Discussions will focus on identifying key challenges and opportunities for government intervention, recognizing nature’s role as one-third of the climate solution.

The Nature Hub aims to:

• Showcase private sector action and investment at the nexus of nature and climate
• Identify means to overcome the barriers to delivering a nature-positive economy
• Enable information exchange and collaboration

Join this webinar to follow the launch of Project LEON (Leveraging Earth Observation for Nature Finance) – a multinational consortium, aimed at using earth observation data to promote and redirect global finance to improve nature conservation and, importantly, divert finance away from nature-damaging activities.

It will provide the motivations and goals for the project and host a panel of speakers from industry, policy and research to give their views about what they would like to see from this exciting initiative and the earth observation tools they will be developing.

Join this session hosted by the Government of Brazil for a first look at the Tropical Forest Forever Facility (TFFF). Announced at COP28, TFFF is a global permanent fund dedicated to supporting tropical forest conservation. It will use its earnings to pay a fixed amount per hectare of conserved rainforest, while maintaining the principle investment. This session will explain key aspects of the proposed fund, including forest nation eligibility, the financial model, and governance structure, and open a dialogue for further engagement.

This session will include the following speakers: Andre Aquino, Director, Forest Service, Brazil; Roselyn Fosuah Adjei, Director, Climate Change, Forestry Commission, Ghana; Garo Batmanian, Director General, Forest Service, Brazil; Luiza Sidonio Rodrigues, Project Manager, Ministry of Finance, Brazil

Simultaneous translation will be provided from English to Portuguese, Spanish, and French.

The integration of nature into corporate governance is not just a moral or ethical imperative; it is a strategic necessity for ongoing business success.

By understanding and managing nature-related risks and opportunities at the board level, and by adopting future-facing governance practices, companies can protect their bottom lines, respond to growing regulatory and market expectations, and contribute to a more resilient business, economy and society. The challenge is significant, but the commercial opportunities for those who respond appropriately are substantial.

In collaboration with Pollination, this webinar will explore the critical role of board leadership in integrating and investing in nature and provide practical guidance for directors to act on now. A  panel of experts will also share their insights and answer your questions on this crucial topic.

This webinar follows the recent launch of Nature for Boards: A primer, published by Pollination, Chapter Zero and Korn Ferry.

The ocean economy contributes over $2.5 billion to global GDP annually and supports nearly 350 million jobs worldwide.

How can key ocean-reliant sectors like shipping, ports, food, energy and tourism drive a regenerative ocean economy that balances economic growth, social prosperity and marine conservation?

To achieve net-zero emissions and reverse biodiversity loss by 2050, funding for equitable climate and nature transitions must increase by over $3 trillion annually. This can be unlocked through new finance models and innovative partnerships to accelerate and scale green solutions.
