Co-founded by NEXUS members and staff, the Amazon Investor Coalition is a collaboration between investors and philanthropies with governments, non-profits and allies to increase forest-friendly economic development and the rule of law across the Amazon region, in partnership with local stakeholders.  Launched on September 16, 2020, at the United Nations 75 Global Governance Forum, the coalition provides a global platform for diverse groups to connect, learn and work together to ensure that the forest is worth more alive and standing than cut and burned.  As a central resource for climate change mitigation and the global water cycle, the Amazon rainforest is vital for planetary sustainability. The financial products that reflect such wisdom and drive politics, however, have not existed until now.  To scale new economic patterns and conservation, the Coalition aims to drive action in the region by: 1) Matching investors with investment-ready enterprises, 2) Mobilizing corporate partners to scale procurement of sustainable products, and 3) Catalyzing new philanthropy to support bioeconomy development, carbon innovation, permanent protection areas, and the rule of law.
