CDP’s 2017 Global Forests Report Launch
How financial institutions can enable the transition to deforestation-free supply chains
CDP’s 2017 Global Forests Report Launch is taking place on November 21st from 8:00 – 10:30am in the heart of London at the London Stock Exchange
We are at a tipping point for the world’s forests: 15% of greenhouse gas emissions are directly caused by deforestation. 30% of mitigation efforts depend on preserving forests.
There is an estimated investment opportunity of US$200 billion annually for deforestation-free finance and investment. How will you harness this opportunity? How might deforestation impact your portfolio? What can you do about it? Join CDP and leading institutional investors as they discuss the actions the financial sector is taking to mitigate climate change through forests.
