The Inevitable Policy Response - The value of nature-based solutions

PRI and Vivid Economics present the latest outputs from the pioneering project the Inevitable Policy Response – focussing on the value of nature-based solutions and the opportunities for global investors. • An inevitable policy response to climate change will increase the breadth and ambition of forest policy, with enormous growth potential for nature-based solutions. • This large-scale climate forestry effort will involve massive increases in finance, ramped up rapidly across multiple regions. • Forest-based carbon stocks can generate nearly US$7.7 trillion in net present value through to 2050, increasingly relying on private sector financing mechanisms delivered through novel business models. • Investors will need to move early and support market development over the near-term in order to position themselves to take advantage of large medium and long term opportunities. Speakers include: Jason Eis, Executive Director, Vivid Economics Bryan Vadheim, Senior Economist, Vivid Economics Jeanett Bergan, Head of Responsible Investment, KLP Asset Management Gemma James, Head of Environmental Issues, PRI Moderated by: Sagarika Chatterjee, Director of Climate Change, PRI
