Green finance and nature markets are becoming increasingly mainstream. As these markets develop and grow, they offer significant opportunities for the forestry sector – but also present complex challenges.
How do we navigate voluntary and compliance markets? What does ‘additionality’ mean in practice? How can we integrate green finance into projects and make sense of concepts like stacking, bundling, and emerging standards such as BSI Flex 701 and 702?
To help answer these questions, we are hosting a webinar series, developed by the Institute’s Green Finance Special Interest Group, throughout the first half of 2026. Each 90-minute session brings together leading experts and practitioners to guide you through:
- Fundamental principles of nature markets
- Specific schemes like the Woodland Carbon Code and Peatland Code
- Project generation
- Risk management
- Technology and innovation
- What is coming next?
Join us to gain practical insights, understand the latest developments, and make the most of emerging opportunities.
This webinar series is available to book as a six-part package or as individual webinars. A bulk-buy option is available for organisations who wish to purchase a minimum of 20 tickets which must be requested to be paid via BACS transfer.
