We are excited to share that we have been awarded two #catalytic investments from leaders in the #naturebasedsolutions space: 🌳🤝 A grant by the Good Energies Foundation to support our #conservation and #forest #restoration project development and #communityempowerment process in the #CongoBasin; 🌿 🤝 A conditionally repayable grant from the SDG Impact Finance Initiative to support the design (in partnership with EY-Parthenon) of #climatefinance innovations for the implementation of our portfolio of projects at #scale in #Africa. These two catalytic investments provide essential support to our journey to develop and mobilize finance for our portfolio of Iarge-scale conservation and reforestation projects with the highest #community and #biodiversity #impact. They help us accelerate our work, focusing on the key value drivers for the long term, and #derisking further investment into our portfolio: ✅ The community empowerment approach we are developing with the support of the Good Energies Foundation, including direct carbon revenue participation of the communities, is essential to address the underlying dynamics of #multidimensionalpoverty that drive deforestation, ensuring the conservation and protection of forest #landscapes for the #long term. ✅ The green bond and debt solutions that we are developing with the support of the SDG Impact Finance Initiative help us maximize the share of #carbon assets that stay in country, freeing up resources for government and communities, and becoming catalysers of #sustainabledevelopment. We are very #grateful for the support of these leading organizations and we look forward to working together to continue #unlocking further #investment into our portfolio. If you are interested in supporting and investing in the largest reforestation projects in the world, removing hundreds of millions of tons of CO2e, do reach out to us: Gregory Hess, Cameron Hannah, Marc Pfitzer, Catalina Martínez, Tom Adkins, Lee Thomas Johnston Jr., Emma Luu Van Lang, Nicholas Evans.
