As investors increasingly seek tangible climate and environmental contributions in addition to financial returns, natural climate solutions are emerging as a crucial tool to help combat the dual crises of climate change and biodiversity loss. Improving the management of timberland in particular opens a huge opportunity to maximize the positive impact of a widely held financial asset class.
Timberland is a fundamental component of our economy – producing essential lumber and paper products – that can inherently support benefits like carbon sequestration, habitat protection, and water quality. By applying new, science-driven approaches to protecting, restoring and sustainably managing these forests, the entire industry can be reshaped toward climate and biodiversity action at scale and illuminate similar opportunities for other asset classes.
