Sustainable Finance Knowledge Journey

Join us for the second session of the Sustainable Finance Knowledge Journey, a series of events organized as part of the SAFE – Sustainable Agriculture for Forest Ecosystems project. This initiative, co-financed by the European Union, the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands, is designed to support the implementation of the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR).

In this session, titled “Regulatory Frameworks for Sustainable Finance: Key Tools for Supporting Smallholders and the Transition into Deforestation-Free Supply Chains”, we will explore the role of disclosure and taxonomy in fostering transparency, guiding investments, and supporting smallholder farmers.

Highlights include:

• Discussions on how sustainability reporting enhances transparency in deforestation-free supply chains.
• Insights into the potential of sustainable finance taxonomies to support smallholder farmers.
• A case study from Brazil on its Sustainable Finance Taxonomy, presented by Camila de Sousa Silva from the Ministry of Finance of Brazil.

Speakers:

• Max Tetteroo (Climate & Company)
• Helen Finlay (CDP Global)
• Sofia Carra (Climate & Company)
• Camila de Sousa Silva (Ministry of Finance, Brazil)

The session will conclude with a Q&A and closing remarks.

Don’t miss this opportunity to dive deeper into sustainable finance as a cornerstone for deforestation-free agricultural value chains.
