The Sorenson Impact Natural Capital Summit
Taking place during Climate Week NYC, we’re bringing together leaders across the nature finance ecosystem for a full-day convening on September 23 at the Yale Club. The gathering will connect impact investors, economists, foundations, entrepreneurs, conservationists, and water and forest ecosystem experts working to close the annual investment gap of more than $500 billion in protecting and restoring nature.
Programming will move from innovation to landscape to capital, with sessions including:
- Climate × Water Venture Showcase: Hosted by Imagine H2O, featuring an investor market briefing, curated startup pitches, and networking across the climate and water ecosystem.
- Investing in Nature at Market Rate: Led by Sorenson Impact Advisory, exploring opportunities for market-rate impact investments.
- Investing in Forest Health: Blue Forest and the World Resources Institute will share findings from their analysis of forest health and wildfire mitigation in the Upper Weber watershed.
- Unlocking Conservation Capital: The American Forest Foundation will share its latest work with Sorenson Impact on mobilizing capital for family-owned forests.
