Reforestation projects for carbon dioxide removal are deployable at scale today, yet investment remains constrained by risks both real and perceived.

New survey research from Stanford's Sustainability Accelerator and Natural Climate Solutions Initiative reveals that while buyers and sellers could align on price in the $60-90/ton range, fragmented risk perceptions and a lack of consensus on who is responsible for mitigating key risks are blocking deals. In this webinar, we'll present the key findings and host a panel discussion with Racheal Notto (Kita, a carbon market insurance company), Miguel Moraes (re.green, a reforestation project developer), and Julia Strong (Symbiosis Coalition, an advance market commitment for purchasing nature-based carbon removal) on what it will take to bridge these gaps. We'll explore how mechanisms like clearer risk allocation frameworks, insurance products, and standardized offtake agreements could convert stated willingness to pay into realized transactions and unlock the next wave of reforestation investment.
