What's Next in Innovative Finance for Nature?
Nature underpins the global economy, yet almost none of its value shows up directly on financial statements. Innovative finance solutions and a pipeline of investable projects are needed to bring Nature into the markets and to help markets align with Nature's needs.
Join the Conservation Finance Alliance (CFA), Coalition for Private Investment in Conservation (CPIC), IUCN, and Morrison Foerster (MoFo) for a late afternoon event and networking that brings leading voices in private and innovative finance together for a deep dive and active engagement. The event convenes investors, dealmakers, and visionaries to share the latest innovations, watch live pitches for nature-finance deals, and discuss how to scale and replicate nature finance.
