The Future of Carbon Finance: Scaling Finance for Nature-based Climate Solutions

impactalpha.com · last updated

This event, presented by the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment Natural Climate Solutions Initiative and Stanford Sustainability Accelerator in collaboration with Integrity Global Partners, brings together nature-based project developers, buyers, investors, lawyers, and finance professionals to explore how financing for nature-based carbon projects can be structured more like infrastructure project finance.

The event centers on the argument that mobilizing institutional capital for nature-based carbon requires legal, commercial, financial, and governance infrastructure—including carbon rights, due diligence standards, bankable revenue structures, financing contracts, and risk transfer mechanisms. Panel discussions and presentations draw from chapters of a forthcoming book, “The Future of Carbon Finance,” led by Cheri Sugal.

The afternoon program runs from 1:30pm to 6:30pm and includes presentations, panel discussions, small group conversations, and networking on a rooftop. Topics span rebuilding the capital stack, legal title infrastructure, investment readiness due diligence, bankable revenue, standardized contracts, insurance and risk allocation, and project governance.
