Nature in an Era of Crisis

Register

This Gerhart Center Webinar Series session will feature Marcelo Furtado, principal at NatureFinance (previously the Finance for Biodiversity Initiative – F4B). Furtado is a daring strategist, socio-environmental activist, and ESG and Impact Fund advocate, who served as CEO at non-profits, board member, and head of foundations.

The session will discuss how markets, trade and the global economy have historically underpriced nature, leading to its unsustainable exploitation and inequitable outcomes, particularly for nature’s stewards, including indigenous groups and rural communities. The Taskforce on Nature Markets recognizes that the future of the global economy and livelihoods depends on living and thriving in nature. The Taskforce is advancing its objective - to shape nature-positive, equitable markets – by building awareness, developing communities of practice, encouraging innovations and promoting better governance of key nature-related markets, including carbon offset, nature credit and soft commodity markets.
