7th GLF Investment Case Symposium
How can we raise $200 billion a year for biodiversity and climate? From 21 October to 1 November 2024, global leaders gathered in Cali, Colombia, for the 2024 UN Biodiversity Conference (COP16), tackling critical issues like ecosystem protection, climate action, and food security. The 7th GLF Investment Case Symposium, the largest sustainable finance event in the Global South, explored how to fund these efforts, including the role of emerging tech like Artificial Intelligence (AI) in finding innovative solutions.
About this session
Since 2019, the Forestry and Climate Change Fund (FCCF) has provided equity and finance to companies in Central America and Mexico dedicated to the sustainable management of secondary and degraded forests and adding value to wood. FCCF introduces a series of silvicultural and forest management practices that result in forest growth and increased wood quality, but these practices incur costs that must be financed according to their long-term results. This session explores financing options for these practices and ways to increase the competitiveness and quality of wood from secondary and degraded forests.
