A select group of international leaders will participate in a Breakthrough Workshop on Indigenous Economy & Just Resilience this coming January in Ecuador.

The Indigenous Farming Association of the Napo Valley in Ecuador (Wiñak), Nature4Climate and Regions4, with the support of the Plataforma Amazonica, are hosting this experience focused on the indigenous economy in a tropical forest setting. The workshop aims to build consensus on the importance of supporting the ‘Indigenous Economy’ as essential to achieving a net-zero, nature-positive future that can adapt for just resilience to global climate change and biodiversity loss.

The workshop will be hosted locally by the indigenous enterprise Wiñak, a collective of several hundred Kichwa producers located in the Napo Province of Ecuador. Participants will include representatives from provincial governments, civil society organizations, the private sector, philanthropy, and indigenous communities from Mesoamerica, Peru, Brazil, and the Ecuadorian Amazon. They will come together to share their experiences in this immersive dialogue on the indigenous economy and just resilience.

Climate change disproportionately displaces vulnerable populations with limited resources to adapt or relocate. Rising sea levels, extreme weather and environmental degradation force millions from their homes, worsening poverty and instability.

How can communities mitigate climate impacts and build resilience to climate change?

An interactive session blending documentary storytelling with engaging panel discussions on how the path to Belém can be a turning point from agriculture that drives deforestation and human rights violations to regenerative agro-business models with local land stewards as key partners (regenerative as in practices that go beyond sustainability to actively restore and enhance natural ecosystems while maintaining profitable agricultural production).

This session features:

• Perspectives of different key players that are reversing deforestation whilst growing nature-positive, social and economic returns
• Examples of transforming food systems
• An engaging discussion around the question of how we can create thriving ecosystems where both people and nature can flourish
• Remarks by Thomas Elliott, CEO of Restor and Carolle Alarcon, the Executive Director of Coalizao Brasil
• Excerpts from a Documentary

Industries rely significantly on nature while, at the same time, those resources are declining due to overuse and climate change. With nearly 55% of global GDP highly dependent on natural assets, aligning carbon, water and biodiversity credits can not only unlock financing to protect ecosystems but also support those who manage them.

What policy incentives and business innovation are needed to scale nature markets?

For the first time, an analysis of the climate progress of global businesses representing two-thirds of global market capitalization will be presented, assessing the state of private sector action in addressing the nature and climate emergency.

This session will explore the latest scientific findings on planetary health, and how to use them to help drive greater transparency, accountability and comparability on corporate actors’ nature and climate action and commitments.

COP29 marked a significant milestone with the operationalization of a global carbon credit market under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. These rules will improve transparency and credibility in carbon trading, offering a foundation for a more consistent global pricing framework.

Building on this progress, how can we ensure that the advancements made at COP29 lead to a truly global and effective carbon pricing system that fosters greater government and private sector participation?

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.

How can private capital, from grants and impact investing to family offices and sovereign wealth funds, be harnessed to catalyse systems change for people and planet?

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the historic Paris Agreement, however, the world is not yet on track to meet its goals. While momentum to decarbonize economies, build nature-positive systems and set up key financing mechanisms is growing, we lack the speed, scale and quality needed to prevent this emergency.

What kinds of innovation and partnerships are needed to turn crisis into opportunity and progress for people and planet in this critical decade of action?

The world’s largest companies increasingly recognize the risks and opportunities presented by nature. McKinsey reports increasing numbers of companies setting nature-related targets while adoption of the TNFD framework surges ahead of where TCFD was at a similar point 18 months after launch, with each new report raising the bar for the selection and assessment of nature-related risks and opportunities.

Against this backdrop, companies are increasingly engaging in the detailed work of measuring and reporting on their interactions with nature. The data landscape to enable this is rapidly evolving with increasing consolidation of metrics to measure, evidenced most recently by The Nature Positive Initiative’s work to define which State of Nature Metrics are most important.

Join online on the 28th of January for an exclusive webinar to uncover how these macro developments will impact your business and gain valuable insights on how to identify reliable, location-specific, and decision-useful data to assess your nature-related risks and opportunities.

You will learn:
– How the nature data landscape is expected to evolve in 2025
– What approaches leading companies like Tetra Pak and Ørsted have taken to identify the right nature metrics to drive their business decisions
– What tools and resources are available to help your organization optimize your nature data selection process

Chair: Sebastian Leape, CEO at Natcap

Speakers:
– Marco Lambertini, Chair at Nature Positive Initiative / Former Director General at WWF
