Despite urgent calls for action, deforestation and forest degradation remain persistent issues around the world — and finance for nature is only a third of what is needed to meet global climate targets.
With Brazil hosting COP30 in Belém next year, attention is turning toward the role of forests in addressing climate change and the financing needed to ensure protection of these important ecosystems.
On Tuesday, September 24, 2024, as part of NY Climate Week, CTrees will bring together a panel of leaders in policy and science to discuss innovations in finance for Global South jurisdictions to protect and restore forest ecosystems. The discussion will center the concrete commitments and action plans needed to make jurisdictional carbon finance a cornerstone of global climate action.
We are pleased to share that Hon. Helder Barbalho, Governor, State of Pará, Brazil, will deliver opening remarks at the event.
Panelists include:
Christina Magerkurth, Managing Director, Architecture for REDD+ Transactions (ART)
Carlos Nobre, Ph.D., Senior Researcher, Institute for Advanced Studies, University of São Paulo; Co-Chair, Science Panel for the Amazon
Sassan Saatchi, Ph.D., Senior Research Scientist, NASA Jet Propulsion Lab/Caltech; co-founder and CEO, CTrees
