Thanks to CrossBoundary Group, the Fund for Nature (FFN) is scaling investment into nature-based solutions in emerging markets, with a new vehicle to provide up-front finance for nature-based carbon projects – meeting the needs of global buyers while ensuring equitable outcomes and a level playing field for local communities and other stakeholders. Don’t miss this exciting announcement for Concordia’s Amazonas Initiative and the Fund for Nature! Presented by Concordia's CEO, Matthew Swift; Former President of Colombia & Chair of the Concordia Amazonas Initiative, President Iván Duque; and CrossBoundary Group's Managing Director & Head of Natural Capital, Kate Wharton – the three groups are coming together to expand capital access for high-integrity carbon projects in the Amazon biome.
