About the 6th GLF Investment Case Symposium

Hosted in Luxembourg and online, GLF–Luxembourg Finance for Nature 2023: What comes next? united 4,500 participants from 160 countries around how finance can solve – rather than exacerbate – the climate and biodiversity crises.

About this session

Commodities such as palm oil, livestock, soy, coffee, and cocoa are some of the main drivers of agriculture-related land use change. They are also key commodities of the FOLUR Impact Program, which seeks to transform global food systems through sustainable value chains.

This session features expert insights and case studies on how financial institutions can proactively respond to newly proposed regulations and accounting standards to drive change in landscapes and across value chains.
