Nature-Based Solutions & Blue Economy

Restoration, Blue Carbon & the Natural Infrastructure of the Net-Zero Economy

Why this room

Healthy terrestrial and marine ecosystems are among the most powerful levers for climate mitigation and resilience. This session explores the next generation of nature-based and blue-economy solutions—from reforestation, coastal and blue-carbon restoration, and regenerative resource management to high-integrity MRV, bio-based materials, and sustainable aquaculture innovations.

What it carried

Treat land and ocean ecosystems as essential climate infrastructure delivering carbon removal, biodiversity, and resilience.

The five lines we wrote down
  1. 01

    Forests & Carbon: the verdict was that capital follows conviction, not the other way around.

  2. 02

    A working group of three will draft the structure by month-end and circulate to the room.

  3. 03

    Two attendees offered to host the next session privately — the concierge will broker.

  4. 04

    An off-the-record commitment was made to underwrite the first pilot at quarter scale.

  5. 05

    The room asked for a one-page memo to be carried into the next plenary.
