Natural Climate Solutions – decarbonising your investment portfolio

Join Eric Cooperström, Managing Director, Impact Investing and Natural Climate Solutions (NCS) at Manulife Investment Management, as he discusses how natural climate solutions aim to increase carbon storage and avoid greenhouse gas emissions through conservation and restoration of forests, agricultural land, grasslands and wetlands. The discussion will be moderated by Sydney McConathy, Senior Managing Director, Head of Global Business Development and will include a live Q&A session at the end. As the world’s largest timberland and leading agriculture investment manager (1), with over 30 years of experience investing in natural resources, we believe the need to utilise natural resources to address climate change has never been stronger: carbon sequestration is key to avoiding the worst effects of climate change, and natural climate solutions are critical to achieving net zero goals. Carbon removal using forest and agriculture is a key, low cost, climate change solution, which could provide a long-term, diversified investment opportunity whilst decarbonising your portfolio. Join us to learn how investors in forestry and agriculture can make a demonstrable impact on the great challenge of our time.
