More than 50 participants joined the discussion on the evolving relationship between carbon markets, biodiversity and nature-based solutions. Through presentations and a panel debate featuring experienced experts and practitioners, attendees gained practical insights into how climate and biodiversity initiatives can help mitigate risk while creating long-term business value.
PRF Co-Founder Andreea Kaiser highlighted one of the central themes of the event:
“There is no doubt that biodiversity is emerging as the next major sustainability challenge, placing increasing pressure on the built environment sector. That is why early investments in high-quality carbon credits, including those generated through tropical nature restoration projects, make strategic sense and are likely to provide the strongest long-term returns.”
Tim Christophersen, Vice President for Climate Action at Salesforce, shared insights from his new book, Generation Restoration: How to Fix Our Relationship Crisis with Mother Nature. Through compelling examples of ecosystem degradation and successful restoration efforts, he presented a hopeful and actionable vision for large-scale environmental recovery.
The event demonstrated how collaboration between finance professionals, legal experts, biodiversity specialists, businesses and NGOs can drive meaningful and measurable impact.
Thank you to everyone who joined us. We look forward to continuing the conversation.

Insights from Scientists and Practitioners to Restore and Rethink
At PRF, our work is guided by two core principles: Restore and Rethink.
Restore is about protecting and restoring the planet’s natural ecosystems and resources. Rethink is about doing business differently and creating economic models that work in better balance with nature.
“We believe that sharing knowledge is an essential part of our mission to restore and rethink. Therefore, we continuously publish articles in which scientists, business leaders and practitioners share their research, experiences and results,” says Jesper Buris Larsen, Head of Secretariat.
Our most recent article series, Restoring the Planet, features in-depth interviews with pioneering changemakers across the globe. From Brazil and the Great Barrier Reef to the mountains of Romania, the series highlights concrete projects that are delivering measurable benefits for biodiversity and local communities.
Our previous series, Part of the Solution, explored how business leaders are taking action on climate and biodiversity through innovative strategies, investments and partnerships.
