Reforest the Future

​Reforestation is ready for a reckoning

​The scale of reforestation the planet needs and the pace at which it's happening are nowhere close. We know this.

​So how do we accelerate the pace and scale of reforestation?

​The Reforest the Future summit is a half-day event that brings together practitioners, funders, community leaders, and indigenous voices to actively tackle that question together. The summit focuses on 3 key levers that move restoration forward:

​Track I: Who Pays for a Forest?
FINANCE TRACK
Investment models, blended finance, and how capital structures can move restoration from a concept to funded and delivering on the ground.

​Track II:  How Do We Build Forests That Last?
TOOLS, TECH & TRAINING
Seed systems, project deployment, monitoring technology, and the training pipelines needed to build real capacity across the organizations and communities driving restoration forward.

​Track III:  Who Are Forests For?
COMMUNITIES TRACK
Centering Indigenous and local communities, and the practices that make restoration equitable, locally rooted, and enduring.

The summit opens with breakfast and a keynote, moves into the 3 tracks, and ends with a closing luncheon. Along the way, expect diverse perspectives, hard-won lessons, working through the challenges, and figuring out what comes next.
