    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.

    Connecting Global Markets: Navigating Risk to Unlock Growth | Global Investors' Symposium MX City

    Carolina Millan, Mary Ng, Len O'Donnell, Wolfgang Schwerdtle, Pablo Sprenger

    A panel of international stakeholders, including Canadian official Mary, affirmed that the USMCA framework will remain the cornerstone of North American trade while advocating for a dual strategy of strengthening trilateral ties and deepening Canada-Mexico bilateral relations. Experts highlighted a massive capital opportunity driven by Mexico's pension system, projected to reach $1 trillion by 2035, which could unlock growth in infrastructure, energy transition, and private credit sectors despite current concerns regarding regulatory predictability and the rule of law. To capitalize on these nearshoring trends, investors and governments are urged to forge long-term local partnerships and establish stable regulatory environments that can sustain multi-decade investments in logistics, technology, and grid resilience.
