We loved co-hosting "Forests of the Future" last night alongside Jefferson Land Trust, Trust for Public Land, Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe and WA Rep. Steve Tharinger at the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture in Seattle. Bettina von Hagen and the panel focused on how impact investing, philanthropy and government can collaborate to create rural economic development, community health, environmental resiliency, carbon sequestration and permanent conservation. Now it's time to scale! Thanks to all those who came to learn and engage on a rainy night in Seattle. #fsc #impactinvesting #forestland #climatesolutions #communitydevelopment #landtrust Sarah Spaeth Mitsu Iwasaki W.

We're excited to share our 2023 Impact Report! This detailed and inspiring document illustrates our commitment to creating long-term social and environmental uplift through climate-smart management of commercial forests. EFM categorizes our impact outcomes into five themes: Stewardship, Restoration, Climate Change Mitigation, Community Development, and Conservation. We use The Global Impact Investing Network's IRIS+ framework to map our metrics while focusing on four primary UN Sustainable Development Group Goals: Life on Land, Climate Action, Responsible Consumption & Production, and Clean Water & Sanitation. Thanks to all our partners and staff for helping put this report together, especially Melissa Tatge for her incredible design! Download a copy to feel optimistic about making real change in commercial forests! https://lnkd.in/gt7a7Wr

Thanks for the shout out on Earth day Impact Assets! it's heartening to see the growth of Funds and strategies in this sector over the past decade. The list is longer and we are in fine company!
Happy #EarthDay2024 🌍 This Earth Day, we’re centering the critical role of #NatureBasedSolutions in addressing climate change and safeguarding our planet. We celebrate the transformative power of investing in our natural environment, a focus shared by many of the IA 50 2024 Impact Fund Managers. As our CEO Margret Trilli recently highlighted in an opinion piece for Fortune (https://lnkd.in/dEzqYiKu), not all climate solutions require high-tech innovation. Many are about harmonizing with nature to restore ecosystems that are vital carbon sinks. For instance, land-based solutions include revitalizing forests, grasslands, and other landscapes damaged by industrial practices, which play a crucial role in carbon storage and climate regulation. Among this year’s #IA50, 27 fund managers are implementing nature-based strategies through investments in Natural Resources & Conservation. They exemplify how capital can be creatively structured to protect and restore our natural environment: Active Impact Investments Alante Capital Arborview Capital BTG Pactual Timberland Investment Group Clean Energy Ventures Closed Loop Partners Dirt Capital Partners Earthshot Ventures Echo River Capital EcoEnterprises Fund Ecosystem Integrity Fund EFM Finance in Motion Iroquois Valley Farmland REIT Kairos Investment Management Company MCJ Collective Okavango Capital Partners Planet A Ventures Renewal Funds Root Capital Shared Interest SLM Partners SVX MX / SVX México Superorganism Trailhead Capital VoLo Earth Ventures Washington Maritime Blue This Earth Day, let’s celebrate and support these leaders who are investing in the planet's future.
