COP15, Montreal, Canada: Leveraging science to scale up investments and impact in nature-based solutions
CIFOR-ICRAF Resilient Landscapes presented its new partnership with the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, which aims to stimulate high-quality impact investment to strengthen Luxembourg’s positioning as a Global NbS investing hub.

As a part of the new partnership, Resilient Landscapes will connect expert players in the Luxembourg NbS space seeking to develop projects in a science-based manner to better manage risks and enhance financial and non-financial returns. Further, Resilient Landscapes will build capacity to incubate ‘home grown’ NbS projects originated from CIFOR-ICRAF’s existing and formidable research data base and networks.

Science-driven nature-based solutions come to life when the right players understand each other and connect in action. Please stay tuned and engage with the Resilient Landscapes team for new opportunities in 2023.
