FOLUR: HOW CAN FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS DRIVE SUSTAINABILITY AND VALUE CREATION?
|
|
|
|
Agriculture is the main driver of deforestation, and despite increasing pressure to ‘green’ value chains, major food companies are failing to deliver on their commitments to shift production practices – also presenting implications for investors.
Join this special session at the 6th Investment Case hosted by the Food Systems, Land Use and Restoration Impact Program (FOLUR) to learn how financial institutions can proactively respond to newly proposed regulations and accounting standards to drive change in landscapes and across value chains.

Hear from the GLF’s 2022 Restoration Stewards reflect on the challenges and successes they faced, from the oceans of Malaysia to the forests of Kenya. We also hear from the delegation of young African climate leaders that attended COP27 about the ideas they brought to the table, and what they took away from the conference.
Elsewhere, at COP15 in Montreal, outgoing drylands steward Adrian Leitoro and incoming wetlands steward Dwi Riyan explained their perspective on youth, conservation, and what it takes to run an on-the-ground project.
And, to keep you abreast of the conferences and summits coming up this year, we’ve put together a guide to the most important climate events of 2023.

All the best,
