The SCF is thrilled to announce a partnership with the 森林投资者俱乐部 in our journey toward implementing the landscape transformation goals of the 1 .农业部门路线图.5°C. Clear business incentives to invest in forest-positive land use, 比如这个伙伴关系, are imperative to scaling SCF’s work through the 农民第一集群.
Private sector investment can be a powerful tool for sustained positive impact on commodity-producing landscapes. The right investments follow a business model that supports an attractive risk/return profile and is carefully designed for climate, 自然, 以及公平的结果.
To understand alignment between needs and opportunities like these with investor preferences, the Farmer First Clusters will be partnering with the 森林投资者俱乐部 - a network of public and private financial institutions and investors committed to accelerating investments in forests and 自然.
由联合国设立.S. 国务院，由秘书处领导, WBCSD, the 森林投资者俱乐部 facilitates complementary partnerships to unlock investment opportunities and develop solutions to overcome investment barriers. 在这个角色中, the 森林投资者俱乐部 is exploring ways that private investors, along with public and other sources of catalytic capital, can support the scaling up of the Farmer First Clusters.
This type of private sector investment is part of a larger array of support needed for scale. Other examples include corporate supply chain programs that incentivize practice change and international development funding support for technical assistance.
The Farmer First Clusters’ partnership with the 森林投资者俱乐部 comes on the heels of SCF members’ commitment to implement the 1 .农业部门路线图.5°C, a pledge to urgently reduce emissions from land-use change for agricultural purposes. The roadmap outlines three pillars of action to be undertaken by agri-businesses:
- accelerate supply chain actions through specific and transparent company action plans to reduce emissions;
- drive the transformation toward Forest Positive land use management through investment to sustainable land use; and
- drive and mainstream forest-positive sector transformation through dialogue and collaboration with governments and the finance sector.
The ability to drive investment into forest-positive land use, 如第二支柱所述, is critical to achieving transformation at scale.
SCF成员是路线图的签署国, we are thrilled to announce our intention to align the Farmer First Clusters initiative with the roadmap’s second pillar, driving transformation toward forest-positive land use management through investment into sustainable land use. We see our partnership with the 森林投资者俱乐部 as a key step in structuring an investment model that is both appealing to business and investors, while advancing toward the landscape transformation goals of the 1 .农业部门路线图.5°C.
