The discussion will cover the actions forest companies can take to halt and reverse nature loss and prepare for nature-related disclosures based on emerging SBTN/TNFD frameworks. It will also explore the current and future role of certification in incentivizing, mainstreaming, and accelerating these high impact actions, and supporting nature-related disclosures.
