Special event: Sustainable investments in forests for people, profit and nature

Nature-based solutions have the potential to catalyse low-carbon economic growth, generate green jobs, deliver healthy investment returns and support ecosystem restoration. The call for such solutions and ‘new green deals’ that deliver beneficial economic, social and environmental outcomes have grown since COVID-19 caused health and economic challenges across the globe.

 

Investment in forest-based projects and programmes can help achieve international ambitions including the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To do so, it is essential that we understand and support the wide range of reasons to invest in forests at a diversity of scales: for sustainable consumption and production of forest products, to mitigate and adapt to climate change, to safeguard nature and biodiversity, restore ecosystems, to provide sustainable livelihoods and much more.
