Wetlands International and Conservation International in collaboration with Commonland and Landscape Finance Lab are launching a new publication on ‘Landscape Carbon Accounting Guidance’. The publication provides project developers with pragmatic guidance on implementing one of the voluntary carbon standards, the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), at a landscape level, focusing on the greenhouse gas accounting component.

The publication also seeks to provide guidance on addressing the complexity associated with developing verified carbon standard projects when taken at the landscape-scale approach, to boost investment and achieve holistic impact.

They invite all landscape restoration practitioners, carbon project developers and other interested parties to learn more by attending the online Launch Webinar.

In this special event organized in collaboration with Orbitas, international stakeholders will convene to discuss the financial risks and emerging opportunities associated with current efforts to transition towards a low-carbon future. The focus will be on Brazil, particularly its key agricultural sectors—cattle and soy—and their impacts on global value chains.

Attendees will have the opportunity to explore new analyses on the prospects of success in Brazil’s soy and cattle sectors under various climate scenarios, and to hear insights from producers, traders, buyers, and investors working together to catalyze transformation.

Live Portuguese translation will be provided during the event.

VCMI’s Carbon Integrity 101 webinar series invites companies from around the world to learn how to make Carbon Integrity Claims to accelerate global net zero, above and beyond science-aligned emissions cuts. This full programme provides a step-by-step deep dive into VCMI’s Claims Code of Practice, with a live Q&A at the end of each session. Upon completion, participants will be fully equipped with the know-how to make a Carbon Integrity Claim. The first in the Carbon Integrity 101 series, this webinar will provide an overview of VCMI and the Carbon Integrity Claims, explaining how companies can make claims and get recognized for ambitious climate leadership.

The TNFD and NatureFinance, invite you to register for this public webinar on integrating nature-climate scenarios for sustainable financial decision-making.

The session will focus on integrating nature-climate scenarios. We recommend downloading the latest discussion paper on conducting advanced scenario analysis which builds on the TNFD guidance on scenario analysis published September 2023. This webinar will:

• Highlight the importance and benefits of an integrated perspective on nature and climate risks
• Present  pioneering work on climate-nature scenario analysis
• Present modelling frameworks supporting integrated scenario development and some preliminary findings
• Discuss the relevance of the modelling outputs for financial risk assessments by central banks, financial institutions and corporates

Join WCS, The Biodiversity Consultancy Ltd, and Climate Focus for a webinar on March 5 to learn about a rigorous, tested tool for measuring the integrity of global ecosystems.

Panelists Tom Evans, Malcolm Starkey, Ashley Camhi, Ph.D., and Charlotte Streck will discuss the current state of biodiversity metrics, how the Forest Landscape Integrity Index (FLII) can be utilized as a biodiversity metric, how the FLII is being used to scale up tropical forest financing, and how the private sector can engage.

Carbon credits issued from avoided deforestation projects (known as REDD+) received a lot of scrutiny last year, yet they also accounted for the second largest volume of credit retirements. This webinar will provide an overview of REDD+, addressing the concerns and unpicking the debates surrounding it. A team of expert analysts will share the latest data and insights on the key integrity and policy topics surrounding this project type. A spotlight will be given to new solutions that the market is coming up with, including jurisdictional approaches and our own integrity assessments, and how they can ensure the effectiveness of these projects so that they can serve the purpose of unlocking capital to protect the world’s forests.

Planet Tracker, in partnership with the Inevitable Policy Response, invite you to join a discussion with global leaders including Patricia Espinosa, Chair of GFANZ Latin America, Nathan Fabian, PRI’s Chief Sustainable Systems Officer, and Andy Howard, Global Head of Sustainable Investment, Schroders.

• Discover a brand new analysis from the PRI backed Inevitable Policy Response and Deloitte on nature and land use policy trends globally.
• Hear expert investor-relevant commentary on where momentum is most likely to accelerate and the economic value at stake.
• Gain practical insights on the implications for investors and the size of opportunities in new markets.

This class details the step-by-step financial analysis required to answer key investment and forest management questions. Attendees will learn how to identify, value, and rank timber and forestry investments. This one-day course is ideal for forestry consultants and investment analysts, timberland owners and investors, and anyone else who needs to understand the identification, valuation, and ranking of timber-dependent and forest-related investments.

Attendees engage with the instructor throughout the day through polls, case studies, and Q&A. In addition, Forisk will make the recording available afterwards for attendees who were unable to attend live, or who want to re-watch any sections.

In this webinar, the panel will draw on case studies to identify practical and impactful farmer-centric solutions for building the relationship between healthy soils, regenerative agriculture, and climate-resilient food systems at scale. Join the panel as they discuss:

• The practices, such as cover cropping, crop rotation and no-till, which can help to restore soil organic matter and sequester and/or reduce carbon.
• The importance of taking a nuanced and context-specific approach to applying sustainable practices.
• The technology and data tools available to develop, nurture and maintain healthy soils
• The role of different value-chain actors in supporting continued innovation and scale.

Finpublica, Ceres, Impact Capital Forum, and the Aspen Institute’s Finance Leader’s Fellowship invite you to join a virtual discussion on Promoting Sustainability, Equity, and the Freedom to Invest in Today’s Environment.
