Roundtable Unlocking Demand for Tropical Forest Restoration: Buyers, Operation and Market Confidence

​Tropical forest restoration is gaining momentum as a nature-based climate solution. Its success, however, depends not only on supply-side readiness but also on the strength and credibility of demand signals and commitments for carbon and forest products. As carbon markets evolve and companies seek high-integrity strategies to meet climate goals, restoration must be positioned not just as impactful, but as investable and reliable.

​This roundtable will bring together leaders from corporate sustainability, finance, civil society, and standard-setting bodies to co-develop a path forward for scaling demand for tropical forest restoration.

​Objectives

• ​Clarify market signals: Understand what buyers need to confidently invest in restoration.

• ​Strengthen standards: Discuss how to improve credibility, traceability, and permanence.

• ​Catalyze action: Identify 3–5 concrete steps to unlock demand and scale the market.
