Advancing nature-positive investments

This workshop aims to present the evidence base on forest ecosystem service values, national targets, and financing needs in the EU’s Eastern partner countries. It will explore financing instruments that can help bridge existing funding gaps, exchange national priorities and enabling conditions for investment, and share international experiences from EU Member States and other forest-rich countries.

The discussion will also facilitate dialogue among policymakers and partners to identify priority recommendations, strengthen regional cooperation, and support the mobilisation of public and private finance for sustainable forest management.

The event is designed for government officials from ministries of environment and economy, representatives of EU institutions and international financial institutions, international organisations, academia, representatives of green and climate-related initiatives, and civil society organisations.

The workshop will be held in a hybrid format.
