Description
How much investment is really needed to tackle the climate and nature crises – and where will that funding come from? And what does effective investment look like when it comes to delivering benefits for both people and the planet?
This panel debate explores how funding is currently flowing into nature and climate solutions, leaning on real-world examples from land use, forestry, marine systems, and renewable energy. Drawing on expert insights, we’ll look at what combinations of public and private finance have worked, what kinds of returns are being delivered, and where the risks and trade-offs lie.
We’ll also explore how to mobilise smaller-scale, community-led, or in-kind investments, and how to avoid common pitfalls like greenwashing, unreliable offsets, and double-counting. Could Transition principles unlock more trustworthy, long-term investment? Join us for this event to find out more.
