Cultivating an Environment for NCS Public-Private Partnerships

This event will be an intimate discussion between leaders of the public and private sectors mapping out the need and opportunities to build functional, scalable, transparent, and replicable public-private partnerships for natural climate solutions. In order to the leverage funding and ambition to build a movement in both the public and private sectors, an enabling environment must be created with demonstrable leadership through programs such as 1t.org. These partnerships can serve as a catalyst for action – from policy interventions (i.e. Inflation Reduction Act), capital investments (i.e. zero-deforestation and conversion supply-chains), financial tools (i.e. carbon markets, green bonds), and accountability standards, to on-the-ground interventions (i.e. conservation, agroforestry, improved forest management, reforestation, etc.). Specific care will be taken to defining what “net-zero” means for both corporations and governments alike, and highlighting pathways beyond “net-zero” using natural climate solutions.
