Can carbon credits truly provide both environmental protection and financial returns, or is the promise bigger than the reality? As global demand for credible climate solutions grows, Latin America is quickly emerging as a key hub for the next wave of carbon and natural capital markets.
Join us for this session featuring leading sustainability voices Gonzalo Muñoz and Daniel Vercelli, along with experienced investors in carbon and natural capital, Teresa Farmaki and Stavros Siokos, for an open, business-focused discussion. They will explore how carbon credits work in practice, where investment structures succeed or fail, and how business leaders can participate responsibly in one of the most significant markets shaping our future. YPOers will gain clarity on the functioning and reliability of emissions reduction versus carbon capture, the scope of the financial opportunity, and the governance, transparency, and risk factors that influence whether projects deliver meaningful impact or fall short.
You will leave this event with:
• A practical understanding of how forest and conservation-based credits operate.
• Tips for leaders to consider before investing in carbon or natural capital initiatives.
• Lessons from Latin America that can inform global climate strategy and investment.
• Insights into where markets generate real environmental value and where they fall short.
Engage with the experts and investors shaping the future of natural capital.
