24 Jun 2026
Auditorium
Main Stage
  • Following COP, what commitments and progress have been made towards restoring degraded land into productive, investable assets, and where are the most attractive near-term opportunities for private capital?
  • Are current MRV technologies cost-effective and reliable enough in tropical conditions to facilitate high standard carbon and biodiversity credits? How much do verification costs impede small and medium sized farms from attempting to monetize nature-based solutions? What innovations in MRV are required to unlock scale?
  • As regulated carbon markets expand across South America, how is private-sector strategy shifting from offsetting to insetting, and what does this mean for agriculture business models?
  • Which financial structures, such as blended finance, revenue-sharing models, green bonds, and biodiversity credits, show the strongest potential to scale nature-based solutions across the region? How can risk be shared fairly among financiers, landowners, and project developers?
