NextBillion - An Initiative of the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan

For anyone working at the intersection of climate and finance who is interested in learning how carbon forestry at scale can drive global impact and climate action, we invite you to join us for an informative and interactive webinar co-hosted by our friends at World Tree.

This webinar will cover how sustainable lumber, crops, and carbon credits are changing biodiversity for the betterment of people and the planet. Our esteemed panelists will share examples of regenerative agriculture and positive economic returns matched with significant social and environmental benefits.

Attendees will dive into the synergy created when diverse groups — including financial institutions and organizations — unite for a common cause. Together, we will explore how organizations dedicated to nature-based solutions for global challenges create forestry projects that protect native forests, promote renewable timber production, enhance carbon sequestration, and support sustainable socio-economic development in marginalized rural communities.

Speakers:
• Margaret Morales, Director of Carbon at GreenBiz Group (moderator)
• David Sternlicht, Head of Nature Investing at Ethic
• Doug Willmore, CEO at World Tree
• Kalob Williams, Managing Director of Agricultural Operations at Renewable Resources Group Nature-Based Solutions
