For the second year during Climate Week NYC, we have partnered with the Doris Duke Foundation to convene leaders across sectors to advance transformative action in forest restoration. In response to climate change, biodiversity loss, and ecosystem degradation, this forum fosters innovative solutions, strategic partnerships, and collective action needed to restore and sustain resilient forests.

Salesforce will share key findings from an independent evaluation of its global tree projects, offering best practices for private-sector partnerships in forest restoration, followed by a fireside chat with companies and their implementation partners on building successful collaborations. During this panel, Salesforce will share key findings from the evaluation, including best practices that can be replicated by other private sector entities looking to contribute to forest conservation and restoration. We’ll discuss the challenges of tree planting, the importance of resilience and community involvement, and the benefits of a landscape approach to reforestation. The session will conclude with a fireside chat between companies investing in restoration projects and their implementation partners on the elements that have made their partnerships successful.
Panel: Flipping the Switch for Forest Finance

As the UN Decade for Ecosystem Restoration reaches its halfway point, it’s clear that we need to accelerate action with increased private sector investment, innovative public-private partnerships, and new policy advancements to protect biodiversity and mitigate climate change. With growing recognition of our dependencies on nature as an economy, we need to properly value the ecosystem services provided by nature by mainstreaming nature through every step of decision-making for federal economic policy, philanthropic strategies and investments, and private sector business strategies.
