Charlotte Kaiser’s Post

At the recent GIIN Impact Forum, Charlotte Kaiser, TIG's Head of Impact Finance, delivered an inspiring Lightning Talk on how smart investments in natural capital can be both impactful and profitable. Charlotte explored how sustainable forestry plays a vital role in addressing climate change, supporting sustainable development, and conserving biodiversity. She shared powerful examples of collaborative efforts, including TIG's collaborations to drive innovation in the fight against climate change. By managing forests responsibly, we can not only store carbon and reduce emissions but also create economic opportunities for communities while protecting ecosystems. This talk is a reminder of the transformative potential of blending finance with sustainability to deliver measurable impact.

Looking for ways to make a meaningful impact on climate change? Please consider supporting the Forest Carbon and Climate Program. Our program not only conducts cutting-edge research on forest-climate interactions but also educates learners about the importance of sustainable forest management. By investing in our program, you can help educate and connect forest owners and decision makers with the tools and resources they need to store more carbon in their forests and reduce greenhouse gases on a larger scale. https://bit.ly/3VH1RNJ

Can We Save Our Forests Before It's Too Late? 🌳 Healthy trees are essential in combating climate change, acting as carbon sinks by absorbing billions of tons of CO2. However, climate stressors and commercial forestry threaten forests' resilience and biodiversity. Scientists advocate for minimal human intervention, promoting natural growth to maximize benefits. The EU's 2030 Forest Strategy and Biodiversity Strategy aim to enhance forest health, plant millions of trees, and support sustainable wood use. By aligning bioenergy policies and sustainable forest management, the EU strives to secure thriving forests for the future.

🌾 As spring brings new life into Maine's woods, we're reminded of both the challenges and potential of our forests in combating climate change. Amidst natural disasters and economic shifts, significant advancements in forest bioproduct manufacturing and innovative building materials like cross-laminated timber are paving the way towards a more sustainable future. However, the burgeoning forest carbon market, despite its potential, faces critical scrutiny. From stakeholder engagement to regulatory oversight, it's time to reassess how these markets operate within our broader environmental and economic ecosystems. In our latest blog by Forest Economics & Policy Expert, Mary Ignatiadis, we look into the complexities of forest carbon markets and their impact on New England's climate-positive future. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gC_rSASa #Sustainability #Forestry #ClimateChange #Innovation #NewEngland

It's one thing to know, and another to do. Forests consume billions of tons of CO² a year, and with billions of $ spent already globally, we can barely sequester a fraction of that amount. We must reduce forest die back, tree harvesting, monoculture, and promote the FSC, reforestation and re-wilding. The EU 2030 Forest Strategy and the European Biodiversity Strategy both Know; let's hope our leaders Do. #climatechange #deforestation #inhabitable

🌍🌿 At COP29, coalition partner American Forests is spotlighting the crucial role of trees in combating climate change, from wildfire resilience to cooling cities. Urban trees are essential for reducing heat-related health risks and improving climate resilience, especially in underserved communities. American Forests' Tree Equity Score tool and the historic $1.5 billion investment in urban forestry are key steps toward ensuring that all communities benefit from the cooling power of trees. 🌳 Read more about American Forests’ role at COP29 here: https://lnkd.in/eUADu4by
