Net Zero Investor’s Nature Positive Investment Summit

Net Zero Investor is back bringing you a focused roundtable packed with insights into how to invest in nature-positive assets and natural capital.

Last year’s event featured insight into how to invest in sustainable forestry and regenerative agriculture as well as a look at how a nature-positive investing can work across real estate, bond, and equity portfolios, a key opportunity to understand how to achieve biodiversity and net zero goals whilst generating robust and diversified financial returns for the institutional investor.

A different kind of industry conversation

Our summits are designed as expanded roundtable discussions — immersive, interactive events where every voice matters.

Throughout the day, we intersperse short, focused presentations with open-floor dialogue. Each talk is intended to spark discussion rather than deliver a one-way lecture. Following each presentation, participants are invited to ask questions, challenge assumptions, and share their own perspectives. This creates a collaborative space for genuine knowledge exchange.

Participation

Our format works best when everyone is engaged.
We encourage — and expect — participants to contribute to the conversation. While we make exceptions for those wishing to observe quietly, the ethos of a summit is active involvement.

Reporting & Publication

The purpose of each summit is to surface valuable perspectives, insights, and challenges — which we then capture in a post-event report.

On the record: All conversations are on the record unless explicitly stated otherwise.
Accuracy first: We record discussions to ensure accuracy and avoid misquoting.

This approach ensures we preserve the richness of the conversation while maintaining transparency and trust.

Arrival & Refreshments

Nature investment as portfolio resilience - beyond decarbonisation & impact

Investors are increasingly reframing nature & biodiversity investments as a financial risk and resilience issue. How can adaptation and resilience as investment themes play out this space and what are the assets that might make it into a future-proof portfolio? Can nature risk act as a driver of uncorrelated returns?

3:30

Beyond sustainable management: creating value through natural capital

Real assets like forestry and sustainable or regenerative agriculture remain the mainstay of allocations in this space, but how are these assets evolving and in which geographies does impact and return correlate most positively? How can assets like sustainable forestry investments offer competitive risk-adjusted returns, stable cash yields, and capital appreciation, while enhancing portfolio diversification and providing potential inflation protection? How do you evidence their ecosystem benefits and positive biodiversity impact? How do you think about long-term value drivers and navigate jurisdictional complexity? Ultimately, what role can these assets play in your overall portfolio.

Understanding nature exposure in fixed income markets - spotlight deforestation

Bond investors are often exposed to deforestation in their investments, indirectly via supply chains. So how do you understand and tackle these exposures in your portfolio? How should you treat the banks that facilitate these activities? What products exist for universal owners to buy deforestation-free fixed income funds and where is the market heading next?

4:30

Data, TNFD and decision usefulness

When does nature data become investment-relevant rather than compliance-driven?

TNFD, biodiversity metrics and new datasets are widely acknowledged as necessary but immature, with most investors still using them diagnostically rather than for allocation decisions. What needs to change to alter this and capture more useful investment risk and opportunity data and which tools in the market show the most promise?
