Conservation Finance for the Amazon
Debt or equity? Stocks or bonds? What kinds of financial products can help conserve the Amazon? What kinds of economic analysis can assign financial value to ecosystem services? With diverse investor options ranging from long term sustainable timber holdings to deforestation-linked sovereign bonds, the disparate actors of public and private finance are all needed for new blended finance models. Join us for a panel discussion with a diverse set of conservation finance pioneers. Panelists include Fiona Banister of Decarbonized, Peter Elwin, Planet Tracker (article), James Magowan, Arboreal Capital, Leisa de Souza of the Climate Bonds Initiative (article), Scott Edwards of the Conservation Strategy Fund, and David Meyers of the Conservation Finance Alliance.
