Many of the positive impacts of urban trees and forests serve as vital public goods. However, the lack of traditional revenue streams and the indirect nature of their economic benefits make them challenging to fund through conventional project finance mechanisms.
Join us on 13 March 2025 for our latest webinar: “Unlocking Investment for Greener, Resilient Cities.”
In this session, we will:
- Explore the economic, social, and environmental benefits that urban trees and forests contribute to sustainable development, climate action, biodiversity, and land restoration.
- Examine the financing needs to support these benefits throughout the entire lifecycle of urban forests, from planning and tree planting to long-term maintenance and monitoring.
- Introduce actionable financing mechanisms, including green bonds, carbon credits, biodiversity credits, municipal finance instruments, and public-private partnerships, that can be utilized to fund the maintenance, restoration, and expansion of urban trees and forests.
- Discuss how to design innovative financing concepts for urban forests and explore opportunities to integrate these concepts into broader urban development initiatives.
This webinar will provide:
- Insights into how urban trees and forests can be meaningfully integrated into urban development projects.
- Examples of financing approaches and mechanisms that can support the planning, implementation, and long-term management of urban trees and forests.
This webinar is designed for:
- Investors, funders, project developers, national and city leaders, planners, and all stakeholders interested in financing urban nature-based solutions.
