During this session, organisations involved in financing, capacity-building, support, and match-making related to carbon and non-carbon investments will present their approaches and discuss 2 main questions:

  1. what makes nature-based projects funding-ready?
  2. how to best access and sustain financing?

Issues such as due-diligence, monitoring, and transparency will also be examined. We will end with an interactive Q&A block and outline next steps for projects wishing to collaborate with the speakers or apply for funding.

See below our very interesting line-up of speakers for this first session from Terraformation, Open Forest Protocol, GoodCarbon, EnverX, and Callirius.

Background

Taking into account the feedback we received from the explorer.land project stage at NOAH Zurich, the interactive online series on scaling finance for nature-based projects will host investors, foundations, and advisory organizations who will present their approaches and requirements.

We will be discussing blueprints for making projects funding-ready and best practices in securing financing. All sessions will be tailored towards the needs of project developers seeking funding to start or expand their operations. Concrete next steps and application processes will be outlined clearly.

Why attend?

  • If you are a project developer, you will have the ability to interact with organizations directly funding or supporting projects in accessing financing. You will receive a concise yet comprehensive overview of their approaches and processes, as well as an outline of concrete next steps you could pursue.
  • If you are an organization involved in funding or supporting nature-based projects, you will network with relevant actors and transparent nature-based projects. You will stay on top of current developments in nature financing and contribute to scaling it.
