Scaling up land-based solution – Financing the transition toward sustainable land-based value chainss to deliver on the three Rio Convention goals

A huge amount of capital is needed to transform land-based value chains in line with the world’s biodiversity, water, soil health, livelihoods and food and nutrition goals. Indeed, within the global food system alone, it is estimated that sector-wide investments of $205bn per year between 2025 – 2030 are needed to mitigate nearly half of global food system emissions.

This session will bring together business and public sector representation to discuss the necessary financial incentives that will help enable an ambitious transition within different sectors, ranging from forestry to food and agriculture. For instance, it will discuss the need to repurpose harmful subsidies as a starting point for a wider conversation regarding the need for, and obstacles surrounding, wide-scale finance.
