This invite-only roundtable is designed to be a closed-door conversation under Chatham House rules, and will convene policymakers, finance institutions, commercial investors and asset managers, carbon market actors, philanthropies, and project developers to identify practical pathways to scale financing for nature-based solutions (NbS) in Southeast Asia, with a particular focus on nature-based carbon projects and the enabling role of blended finance.

This invitation-only roundtable brings together a small group of senior carbon buyers for an honest, practitioner-led conversation. We anchor the discussion around the Brujula Verde project in Colombia, a nature-based carbon removal project developed in partnership between Trafigura and GenZero, rated by BeZero Carbon. The aim is to offer participants a multi-lens view of what investment-grade carbon removal, and more broadly partnerships for scale, look like in practice: from institutional capital deployment and on-the-ground operations, to standardised diligence.
