Community Collaborative
Webinar: Future Forest Finance
Thursday, August 29, 2:00-3:15pm Eastern
The growing demand for reforestation is surpassing the available financial resources, while climate change is driving landowners and policymakers to rethink how we finance forest conservation. In response, leaders across private, public, and nonprofit sectors are pioneering creative approaches to blend, stack, and leverage capital for forest financing.
Join us for an insightful discussion on the global framework for financing nature and an introduction to innovative conservation finance strategies. Discover how your organization can explore new avenues to fund reforestation and forest conservation efforts.
We hope you will join us! Speakers are:
- Kevin O’Hara | 1t.org US Chapter & American Forests (host)

- Peter Howell | Conservation Finance Network

Addressing Challenges
Operating through thematic convenings on critical topics and emerging trends, our Collaborative fosters innovation, shares best practices, and mobilizes resources to tackle pressing challenges. By engaging stakeholders at all levels and promoting inclusive decision-making processes, we strive to ensure that our actions are socially and ecologically responsible, guided by principles of equity, justice, and sustainability.
Fostering Innovation
Through capacity building, knowledge sharing, and fostering innovation, our sessions provide a dynamic platform for stakeholders to contribute expertise, collaborate on strategies, and align efforts toward our shared goals. Together, we believe that by working collaboratively and harnessing the power of nature-based solutions, we can make a meaningful difference in the fight against climate change, promote biodiversity, and enhance the resilience of ecosystems and communities in the US and worldwide.
