Investing in Deforestation-Free Commodities
Founded in 2012, the Tropical Forest Alliance (TFA) works with governments, corporations, investors, NGOs, indigenous peoples, and allies to prevent deforestation. Launched by the TFA, IFACC (Innovative Finance for the Amazon, Cerrado and Chaco) recently announced commitments of over $3 billion dollars to support deforestation-free cattle and soy production, with plans to disburse $200 million this year. What are the financial mechanisms involved? What technical assistance is offered? How is impact monitored? Join us to explore these questions and meet Danielle Carreira, the Head of Finance Sector Engagement at the TFA. Danielle’s program works to accelerate the transition towards more sustainable land use practices. She is a member of the Expert Review Committee of the World Benchmarking Alliance and is co-author of the reports “Natural Capital Risk Exposure of the Financial Sector in Brazil” (2015) and “The State of Finance for Nature” (2021). Danielle holds an MA in International Finance and a BSc in Economic Sciences. The Tropical Forest Alliance is hosted by the World Economic Forum.
