Last week in New York, we were delighted to welcome an audience of over one hundred including senior sustainability professionals, carbon markets actors and influential civil society organizations for a lively and engaging discussion on the need to both protect and restore forests, the barriers to corporate engagement and possible solutions.
The panel, moderated by Giulia Carbone, Director of the NCS Alliance, brought together the heads of the two largest advance commitment initiatives focused on nature, Julia Strong of Symbiosis and Eron Bloomgarden of the LEAF Coalition, climate scientist, Dr Sarah Federman of Carbon Direct, Jennifer Tauli Corpuz, of Nia Tero, representing the perspective of Indigenous Peoples, and Tim Christophersen of Salesforce, a member of both coalitions. Here’s our key take outs from the session.
