📣 TIG is proud to be a founding member of the Brazil Restoration & Bioeconomy Finance Coalition, which was launched today by President Biden during his visit to the Amazon. The Coalition aims to support Brazil’s leadership in forest restoration and the development of the forest bioeconomy, with a targeted, aggregate investment of at least $10 billion by 2030 among all Coalition members. Founding members include Agni, Banco do Brasil, BNDES, Biomas, BTG Pactual, Conservation International, the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation, IDB Invest, Instituto Arapyaú, Institute for Climate and Society, Itaúsa, MOMBAK, The Nature Conservancy, Régia Capital, re.green, the The World Bank Group, and the World Economic Forum. Collectively, the Coalition seeks to support projects with the aim of conserving and restoring at least 5 million hectares of Brazilian forests, contributing to Brazil's efforts to halt and reverse deforestation. The Coalition’s goals also include launching projects by 2030 that will help to sequester at least 1 gigaton of CO2 emissions and invest $500 million in initiatives benefiting Indigenous peoples and local communities, with a focus on the Amazon region. 2025 is set to be a major year for forests, and we're excited to play our part to support collective climate, biodiversity and development goals.

At the recent GIIN Impact Forum, Charlotte Kaiser, TIG's Head of Impact Finance, delivered an inspiring Lightning Talk on how smart investments in natural capital can be both impactful and profitable. Charlotte explored how sustainable forestry plays a vital role in addressing climate change, supporting sustainable development, and conserving biodiversity. She shared powerful examples of collaborative efforts, including TIG's collaborations to drive innovation in the fight against climate change. By managing forests responsibly, we can not only store carbon and reduce emissions but also create economic opportunities for communities while protecting ecosystems. This talk is a reminder of the transformative potential of blending finance with sustainability to deliver measurable impact.

This December, the TIG team came together for our annual meeting and took time out to assemble and donate wheelchairs to several charities in Lufkin, Texas. One of the highlights of this initiative was meeting Ashley Berry, a representative from the Alliance of Hope, who shared how these donations will bring mobility and support to those in need. This effort was about more than providing wheelchairs—it was an opportunity to connect with our community and make a meaningful difference. We’re proud to contribute to the incredible work these organizations do every day. Thank you to everyone who participated in this project and helped end the year on such a positive note! We’re grateful for our team here at TIG and are excited to see what 2025 will hold for us.

With the G20 in Rio and COP30 in the Amazon, Brazil has a pivotal opportunity to lead on climate action. In this blog post, World Economic Forum highlights four key opportunities for Brazil to express leadership, including enhancing sustainable forest management for timber and establishing high-quality plantation forests, as exemplified by TIG's Latin American Reforestation Strategy implemented in collaboration with Conservation International. This strategy integrates ecosystem restoration, biodiversity conservation, and economic growth, presenting a pathway for sustainable development.

Enhanced Sustainable Forest Management: Restoration of Rare or Declining Forest Types In the final installment of our series highlighting the innovative forest management practices developed in collaboration with The Nature Conservancy, we’re focusing on the restoration of rare or declining forest types. Our efforts focus on actively restoring native forest communities, such as longleaf pine and upland oak, across our portfolio. Such restoration enhances biodiversity and resilience, helping ensure these valuable ecosystems and the diversity of species they contain can thrive. Through dedicated restoration work, we are committed to preserving and revitalizing our forests for future generations.

Carlos A. Nobre once again hits the nail on the head. Supporting the Brazilian government to accelerate efforts to protect and restore the country's forests is a global priority. That's why we're pleased to be part of the public-private Brazil Restoration & Bioeconomy Finance Coalition that was launched by President Biden this weekend, on the margins of the G20 - to do just that. As Carlos writes, "We may reach the Amazon tipping point by 2050 if we continue with business as usual. As climate change discussions stall in Baku at COP29, the G20 can collectively advance a new era of restoration action to stabilise the climate, protect the world’s ecosystems and build resilient economies that value nature." We're ready to play our part.
