June 23 - Mind the (30x2030) Gap: Banking on Business Getting on Board on Time with Joel Johnson (E.O. Wilson Biodiversity Foundation), Linda Behnken (Alaska Longline Fishermen’s Association), Marissa Merculieff and Lauren Divine (Aleut Community of St. Paul Island), and David Levine (ASBC), moderated by Annarie Lyles (Bio-Gist Ventures, LLC).

International support is growing to protect 30% of Earth by 2030, on the way to Half Earth. Thirty nations have already achieved the 30% goal and the USA is roughly half-way there, with more protected ocean than land. This session will explore why biodiversity matters for the private sector along with potential opportunities for business people to help close the gap.  Also hear about ASBC’s newly launched initiative, Businesses for Conservation and Climate Action.

June 30 - Impact Investment in Latin America - Emerging Leaders and Opportunities with Michelle Arevalo-Carpenter (IMPAQTO Fund, Ecuador), Vasco van Roosmalen (UTU Fund, Brazil) and Josh Knauer (JumpScale).

Latin America is one of the leading emerging markets for impact investment. There are many opportunities to invest money into privately held enterprises that are having a very positive impact on local communities, the environment and profit. New for-profit impact investment funds are emerging and showing that significant financial returns from non-public market investments can be generated while significantly helping people and protecting the planet. During this fireside-style chat facilitated by Josh Knauer from JumpScale, we’ll be exploring the overall landscape for impact investors in Latin America while digging into two funds that are currently active in the region.
