We’re thrilled to announce a major carbon transaction with Meta; one of the world's largest such deals to date. Meta will purchase 1.3 million nature-based carbon removal credits, with options on an additional 2.6 million credits through 2038, from our Latin American reforestation strategy. Blair Swedeen, Global Head of Net Zero and Sustainability at Meta, says about the deal: “BTG Pactual TIG and Conservation International, in their visionary collaboration, are setting a new bar for how sustainable forestry operations can deliver restoration of degraded land, while providing important economic opportunities for local communities. We are proud to support the bold impact strategy that TIG and CI have developed, which aligns with our own goals for our net zero program and for carbon markets broadly.” As part of the deal, Meta is making its forest monitoring technology available to help establish a rigorous baseline of existing forest cover for TIG’s Latin America reforestation strategy. This includes Meta’s work with World Resources Institute to map tree canopy height at a 1-meter resolution, allowing the detection of single trees at a global scale. All canopy height data and AI models are free and publicly available, including those used for this deal. More details on the transaction can be found in the press release below. Huge congratulations are due to all involved, including our colleagues at Meta and our collaborators at Conservation International. Getting deals of this magnitude across the line are an immense team effort, and we are grateful to everyone who has supported this effort along the way!

We were pleased to sponsor Joao Aguiar's participation at the CANOPY Conference in Portland, Oregon this year.?As a graduate student seeking to launch a career in impact investing, Joao gained invaluable insights from leaders in the forestry investment space. We’re glad to provide this small support for his journey and can't wait to see what Joao accomplishes next. Check out Joao's key takeaways from the conference below:
What a week! After attending NY Climate Week events, I flew to Portland for the Canopy – Forests, Markets, and Society conference at World Forestry Center, in courtesy of BTG Pactual Timberland Investment Group. As an MBA student with a background in #forestryinvestments in Brazil and a desire to pivot into #impactinvesting, the Canopy conference was a fantastic opportunity to connect with industry leaders and deepen my understanding of current trends, opportunities, and challenges in forestry investments. Here are a few key takeaways: - ?????? ?????????????? ????????????????????: Portland’s airport stood out with its serene wood-heavy architecture. The renovation, sourced primarily from local, sustainable family-owned timber farms, fosters a sense of community and demonstrates the impact of mass timber as a sustainable alternative to steel and concrete in construction. - ???????????????? ???????????????????????? ?????? ??????????????: Over the past few decades, forest ownership has shifted from corporations to investment managers seeking value creation. This influx has driven prices up and reduced expected returns from 11% to around 5%, presenting new challenges in achieving profitability alongside sustainability. - ???????????? ?????? ???????????? ??????????????????: The housing market is expected to drive lumber demand, fueled by a persistent housing shortage and an aging housing stock. However, the supply of logs is constrained by declining annual harvests, worsening fire seasons, and competition from carbon markets. Combined with inflation, this have led to higher unit costs and mill closures, particularly in the southern U.S. - ???????????? ?????????????? ???????????????? ???? ??????????????: In the voluntary carbon credit market, trust is paramount. Buyers are demanding higher-quality credits to avoid risks like overestimation, double counting, and ensuring additionality. This may increase prices in the short term but reduce volumes. Over time, however, higher quality is expected to drive credibility and scale in the market. - ???????????????????????? ??????????????: Corporate interest in biodiversity credits is growing as a collateral for ESG reports, though measuring impacts remains a challenge. While these projects can be expensive, they also enhance the resiliency of forestry portfolios, balancing environmental impact with financial returns. - ?????????? ??????????????????: Labor shortages affect the forestry and milling sectors in the U.S., much like in Mato Grosso, Brazil. The trend toward automation and innovation poses as a solution, reducing labor needs, much like Brazil’s shift from firewood to wood chips in grain drying processes I've observed in Brazil. A big thank you to Charlotte Kaiser, Esben Brandi, and the whole BTG Pactual Timberland Investment Group team for this incredible opportunity. I look forward to applying these insights to my future endeavors in impact investing.

#ClimateWeekNYC is a wrap! Our team was all over the city last week attending meetings, speaking at events and catching up with clients and partners. It was great to see more investor interest and participation than ever before. Over the course of the week, we participated in many discussions on the role of blended finance in mobilizing #naturalclimatesolutions, we witnessed encouraging examples of capital being deployed at scale toward these solutions, and we saw many eyes turning to Latin America as we head toward #COP16 in Cali this month, and the Climate COP in Belém next year.
