Why attend

The private sector has the power to drive real change—but how do we ensure investments truly benefit people and nature? This session dives into how businesses and science can join forces to create impactful, evidence-based solutions for a sustainable future. Join us to explore strategies that turn ambition into action!

Session Description

To tackle the climate and biodiversity crisis, we need to unlock $4-5 trillion annually in private capital. Nature-based solutions offer a triple win for climate, biodiversity, and human prosperity, yet perceived risks hinder large-scale investment.

Join us as we showcase groundbreaking, science-driven solutions from CIFOR-ICRAF’s Resilient Landscapes program, backed by the Government of Luxembourg. Through real-world projects in Benin, DRC, Nepal, and Rwanda, we’ll explore how innovative approaches are creating new investment opportunities, reducing investment risks and scaling up sustainable finance.

Your voice matters! Engage with experts, challenge existing models, and bring your own projects to the table as we work together to mobilize private capital for nature.
