Opportunities in Sustainability: Voice of Global Investors | Global Investors' Symposium São Paulo
Patricia Torres, Clara Barby, Tony Lent, Jens Nielsen, Wolfgang Schwerdtle
A recent high-level forum brought together investors from GIC, the World Climate Foundation, and Just Climate to align capital strategies with Brazil's mandate to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 59% to 67% below 2005 levels by 2035, prioritizing land use and agriculture over traditional energy transition. Participants identified a maturing market where average deal sizes are rising to $30 million, yet emphasized that overcoming data gaps and currency risks requires innovative financial instruments like off-take guarantees and specialized intermediaries. The dialogue concluded with a unified call for asset owners to appoint dedicated NBS executives and reallocate 2–3% of assets by 2025 to support scalable nature-based solutions that bridge the gap between venture and infrastructure capital.
