Nature loss is one of the greatest threats facing the planet and global economy, and companies are recognizing that they can no longer afford to overlook nature in strategy, risk management, and capital allocation. At this year’s World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting in Davos, the Taskforce for Nature Related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) announced that 320 global companies and financial institutions—representing $4 trillion in market capitalization—have signed on to adopt their recommendations for measuring and disclosing nature risks. Join Ceres experts and company representatives to delve into why businesses now see nature issues as strategically important and how they can be proactively managed. In this session, participants will:

• Gain insights into the business case for nature action
• Examine how companies are adopting nature risk strategies
• Explore the TNFD’s recommendations for assessment and disclosure

A notable shift is underway as the VCM and compliance markets have been increasingly converging, driven by two key trends; increased regulation in the VCM and the expansion of compliance markets.

This means carbon credits are playing a larger and more visible role as the ‘net’ in ‘net zero.’ As these waves continue, the voluntary carbon market’s role in the net zero economic transition is becoming even more important.

This expert panel will delve into why this is an opportunity to strengthen quality and transparency, and how buyers can take advantage of this opportunity and navigate the change.

Interest and investment in Engineered Carbon Dioxide Removals (CDR), which remove CO2 from the atmosphere and permanently store it in geological or organic forms, are trending upward. The ability to remove a large scale of emissions and lock it away for decades or centuries makes engineered CDR an increasingly attractive choice for carbon credit buyers, suppliers, and investors alike.

The webinar will provide an overview on CDR, and deep-dive into one of the fastest-growing CDR technologies, Biochar. We will explore why Biochar is so highly valued by the market, and assess what its potential can be to scale the CDR market.

Join a team of expert analysts as they discuss Biochar’s key integrity considerations, leveraging integrity assessments of over 30 biochar projects, and provide an outlook for pricing and demand for biochar based on detailed production cost and market modelling.

Join the launch webinar of the 10th annual Forest 500 report, which assesses the most influential companies and financial institutions commitments and actions and human rights abuses on deforestation.

Additionally, the “Comparative Study of Carbon Rights in the Context of Jurisdictional REDD+,” will be launched showcasing case studies from Africa, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Caribbean.

Objectives:

• Share experiences in clarifying carbon rights from different regions.
• Present challenges and lessons learned related to carbon rights.
• Strengthen the global discussion on these issues and promote greater exchange to enable other countries to learn from good practices, challenges, and progress made.

The Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP) offers several pathways to fund innovative projects that center partnerships and locally led conservation. Over 25 land trust projects were awarded funding for 2023 and the Natural Resources Conservation Service wants to see that number grow! If your land trust is looking for new ways to fund important regional projects, join NRCS projects branch Chief Russell Ames for an overview of the program and information on how to get started. The NRCS and Alliance will also introduce new national team members who will be providing added capacity to process RCPP projects.

This webinar is made possible by the Alliance and NRCS partnership to provide resources to the land trust community about NRCS-administered programs.

The webinar is also part of our Federal Funding Series to educate land trusts on federal funding opportunities.

2023 marked a pivotal year for the voluntary carbon market, combining unprecedented government and corporate investment in support of net zero goals, the rapid evolution of the carbon removals market, and critical questions over the integrity of some high-profile carbon credit projects.

As such, 2024 marks a crucial period for both the voluntary carbon market and the many businesses planning to use credible carbon credits in support of their decarbonisation efforts.

The latest BusinessGreen webinar, hosted in association with carbon market platform Patch, will offer an invaluable insight into the trends and challenges that will shape the course of the voluntary carbon market in the months ahead, and offer guidance on how to navigate them.
