Since the Paris Agreement, demand from the investment community has been rising exponentially to understand how their portfolios contribute to limiting global warming to well under 2 degrees. How much do their actions contribute to the warming or mitigate it? How aligned are their portfolios with the trajectories required by the IEA? A number of tools, initiatives and frameworks support this work, but how do they work in practice?

Come join us for a breakfast boat cruise on the Seine to find out more about climate scenario analysis in real-life and hear from industry experts on how they are tackling the question.

The current environmental crisis has shaped a new context in which it becomes urgent to promote innovative sustainable farming practices together with new ways of financing these practices. Among the existing solutions, agro-ecology, conservation agriculture, use of ecosystems services and biodiversity, integrated production are approaches enabling an ecologically intensification of agriculture while sustainably increasing the sector viability. Several pioneers’ investment funds such as Moringa, Althelia Climate Funds and the Livelihoods Investment Funds have experienced these solutions over the past five years and have now gathered lessons learned and a track record to upscale them. New vehicles are being developed such as the Landscape Degradation Neutrality Fund of Mirova. Under the aegis of the Paris green finance movement “Finance for Tomorrow” and following the initiative of the Climate Finance Day, this event aims to harness the potential of agro-ecology through dissemination of knowledge and sharing lessons learned from impact funds and scale up the impact already achieved. The conference will also build on France’s leadership on natural capital markets, making Paris a unique ecosystem to foster finance that can lead to the agroecology transition.
