REDD+ Investment Opportunities: Supply and Demand Roundtable
8 Bishop Gate, London, EC2N 4BQ
About this Event
Forests are one of the most immediate and scalable tools for climate mitigation, yet they remain significantly underfinanced. REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) offers a pathway to channel climate finance into forest protection through carbon markets at scale.
The jurisdictional approach to REDD+ generates high-quality emissions reductions, with some of these methodologies already having received the ICVCM’s CCP label of quality. Several REDD+ programmes are either ready for or close to confirming offtake deals or investments for their credits.
Yet, fewer than 5% of voluntary carbon market transactions in 2023 were jurisdictional. Investors cite delivery risks and unfamiliarity with the advantages of the jurisdictional approach. As COP30 approaches, with the Amazon and forests in the spotlight, there is an opportunity to invest and secure a future supply of high-quality emissions reductions of high social and environmental integrity.
Happening during the London Climate Week, this roundtable brings together REDD+ jurisdictions and investors to bridge that gap by linking credible supply with committed capital.
