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.

In this Jurisdictional Action Network (JAN) webinar, hosted by the Tropical Forest Alliance (TFA) and ISEAL, they will discuss how companies can feel confident to make claims about landscape outcomes, and the responsibilities they have for supporting landscape monitoring.

Confirmed speakers and moderator are:
• Joe James, Sustainability Manager, Sainsbury’s
• Ron Jacoby, Global Manager, Sustainable Sourcing, Colgate-Palmolive Company
• Omshanti Romero, Operations Manager, LandScale
• Akiva Fishman, Director of Nature-based Solutions, Forests, World Wildlife Fund
• Patrick Mallet, Innovations Director, ISEAL

Embark on an educational journey through the landscape of carbon removal credits and learn more about these technologies including nature-based and engineered carbon removals, articulate the challenges faced by both buyers and developers today, and discuss the pathways toward realizing a world in which carbon dioxide is not only reduced but actively removed from the atmosphere, helping us to reach our net-zero ambitions.

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.
