Investing in resilient landscapes
Hybrid - London & Online
About this Event
Addressing climate change and nature loss requires systemic solutions that go beyond investments in individual projects. Landscape initiatives offer a systemic, place-based approach, addressing critical sustainability challenges at scale.
Across a keynote and two panel sessions, participants will explore what makes landscape initiatives reliable investment partners, key lessons from financing resilient landscapes, and how landscape-level impact can be translated into corporate reporting. This half-day event will offer practical perspectives on resilient landscapes and how investors can have confidence in the effectiveness of these initiatives, while showcasing the latest resources and insights from leading landscape practitioners and partners.
