Integrating sustainability into profitable forestry natural capital investments
Investing the Spectrum of Natural Capital and Climate In today's episode, I speak with Martin Berg, CEO and James Bullen, Head of forest investment at Climate Asset Management (CAM). In this conversation, Martin explains how this young asset management firm has reached a significant goal across 3 investment strategies, with objectives ranging from #timber driven financial returns in developed markets, through to high-quality #carboncredit driven returns in developing markets. We learn about how CAM is different, where their impact focus often is a deciding factor in asset eligibility to their strategy. If you’re curious how they’re executing – listen in, where James explains 3 concrete examples of assets they’ve invested in across these different strategies. "Forestry is always the first step of natural capital that investors get their head around. What we find is that it takes a long time for these investors to find the right place where they house this, so where does it sit, what allocation should we use in order to finance this, what is the risk profile? It is a relatively low risk asset class, you learn a lot by actually doing it." - Martin "In terms of forestry, it is a limited resource, it is sustainable and our demand for timber and also the co-benefits that forestry bring are just going to increase. The high-quality, well-managed forests are always going to be valuable." - James 🔗 Link to the episode 🎧 is in the comments below 👇 #ForestInvestPodcast #naturalcapital #climateinvesting #impactinvesting #forestinvestment #timberlandinvestment #timberland
