Resource description:
In the Recipes for Recovery webinar series, we explore workable models that leverage private investment to address ecological challenges at the landscape scale and the business models and implementation mechanisms that are needed for strategic, landscape scale initiatives to function. In this series, we discuss the successes and challenges within each case study and highlight key elements that make the models and mechanisms transferrable elsewhere.
This session explores the work of the Argyll Countryside Trust (ACT) and partners at the Alliance for Scotland’s Rainforest to develop a Project Standards and Integrity Charter and compile a business model for aggregating Atlantic Rainforest restoration projects to facilitate private investment at a landscape scale. The session includes a short film produced by ACT which highlights their learnings from this project followed by a discussion on the challenges and successes of working at scale, the elements of the business models and tools that can be transferrable elsewhere, and what’s next for this initiative.
Chaired by: Hannah Rudman (Senior Research Fellow, James Hutton Institute), with a Q&A discussion with Julie Young, CEO at Argyll Countryside Trust and William Hawes, Land Manager at Sylvestris
This event is co-hosted by the Scottish Nature Finance Pioneers, the Integrating Nature Finance and Biodiversity programme and the Centre for Sustainable Forests and Landscapes at University of Edinburgh.
