Webinar: Introducing The Little Book of Nature Business

Описание: Investment and business opportunities that can benefit nature have been wrongly typecast as limited to “bees, trees and farmers”.

Global Canopy’s Little Book of Nature Business busts that myth by showcasing nature innovations spanning eight economic sectors – including food, construction, utilities and extractives – with potential to scale and support the global transition toward a US$10tn nature-positive economy.

The webinar introduced this simple, inspirational guide for investors, lenders, businesses and policymakers, and a panel of experts discussed what the book offers financial institutions.

Our line-up of panellists:
Andrew Mitchell, Global Canopy
David Craig, TNFD
Dorothy Maseke, FSD Africa
Mitch Reznick, Federated Hermes Ltd
Santiago Cortés, APG Asset Management
John Tobin-de la Puente, Cornell University
Alexandra Pinzon-Torres, Global Canopy (moderator)

The webinar covered:
An introduction to The Little Book of Nature Business and the role of financial institutions in the global transition toward a US$10tn nature-positive economy
Insights into the need for urgent global action on investing in the transition
A live panel discussion followed by Q&A
