Key takeaways & next steps:

  • Public-private partnerships are key to tackling global and transnational environmental challenges. It is urgent to recognize and address deforestation in the Amazon rainforest and to prevent it from becoming a global net emitter of greenhouse gasses.
  • Concordia has announced a partnership with CrossBoundary Group’s Fund for Nature (FFN) to expand access to capital for high-integrity carbon projects in the Amazon biome.
  • CrossBoundary Group is a Global Patron Member of Concordia and the FFN is their investment vehicle that provides up-front finance for nature-based carbon projects, with the mission of scaling investment into nature-based solutions in emerging and frontier markets. Read about this announcement and find out more about the 2024 Concordia Amazonas Summit, taking place in Guyana from July 9-13.

“I can’t think of a better way to open the summit than to talk about nature and environmental sustainability, which – within the arena of public and private sector cooperation and market solutions – can drive solutions to some of the challenges we are currently facing.”

Matthew Swift – Co-Founder, President & CEO, Concordia

“It is critical to understand that if we do not bring deforestation to zero, the Amazon will be a net emitter. We have to act and we have to act promptly.”

H.E. Iván Duque – Former President, Republic of Colombia (2018-2022); Leadership Council Member, Concordia

“Focusing on nature-based carbon projects preserves biodiversity and improves the likelihood of people stewarding the land. There is no time to waste.”

Kate Wharton – Managing Director & Head of Natural Capital, CrossBoundary Group
