What is the Global Forest Bond?

Protecting and restoring native biomes is paramount for sustainable development. But how can we finance the process? Global Forest Bond (video) is a Brazilian greentech/fintech startup that builds innovative financial instruments for the protection and recovery of ecosystems. The company unites the legal certainty of agribusiness bonds with the environmental sector through Green Rural Product Notes (CPR Verde), coupled with a state-of-the-art forest audit platform developed in partnership with KPMG to improve transparency and reduce issuance costs. Join us to meet GFB founder Artur Villela Ferreira to discuss new financial instruments that protect biomes in Brazil and around the world.
