GLOBAL CARBON FORUM
Financing the low-carbon economy and saving the Amazon | Digital Conference
"There are reasons for hope, but it is clear that time is running out and action is urgently needed."
The Global Carbon Forum, in partnership with Moss, has brought together thought leaders, key global business and financial players, senior government officials and local communities to discuss the solutions and investments that will deliver -at the right pace and scale- a net-zero, nature-positive economy for a more equitable and resilient society. Focus was placed on the positive impact that investment strategies, financial instruments, carbon markets and technology can have as enablers of a sustainable and profitable Amazon.
Carbon markets driving decarbonisation
With mounting public and investment pressure moving climate change up the agenda, attention and efforts are placed on the role and potential for carbon pricing and carbon markets to successfully decarbonise economies and supply chains.
Reconciling economic development and conservation
What would the transition to the bioeconomy look like for the Amazon, and what new high-value products and services could be created using this model?
Delivering Brazil’s sustainable future
What is done and still needs to be done to minimise the environmental impact from the use of natural resources, fund and direct investments to a low carbon economy, combat illegal deforestation in the Amazon and drive economic and social inclusion of its local communities.
"Hearing from such a diverse range of experts and people with real 'hands-on' experience, I feel I have learnt so much about the Amazon and despite the clear, imminent dangers, I leave feeling inspired and hopeful."
