The 8th GLF Investment Case Symposium, as it happened
Most of humanity wants real, meaningful climate action – but how do we fund that change?
At the 8th GLF Investment Case Symposium: Financing Nature’s Frontlines, we brought together investors and changemakers to explore how to channel finance towards regenerative, community-led solutions.
Held at COP30 in Belém, Brazil, and livestreamed worldwide, the event gathered over 4,400 participants from 147 countries, along with 56 speakers and 53 global and local partner organizations.
Reaching over 6 million people and counting via social media and media channels, with more than 763,000 engagements, this global event challenged governments and investors to rethink the future of climate and nature finance.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
Our ambition is very clear: to be a place of reference where impact, resilience and investments meet, where ideas become action and where nature-positive investments scale. We want Luxembourg to be a hub where innovative finance mechanisms are tested, refined and deployed, and where global partnerships are forged to accelerate change. Let’s work all together to build the pipeline, connect maturity stages and unlock capital for the landscapes that need it most.
I’m hearing at this whole conference [COP30] that carbon is king. In my opinion, it is not – because we have to see this broader perspective as a collective thing. What we call nature is a bunch of great assets: biodiversity, ecosystems and payment services.
We are piloting a financial instrument that will not only talk to the direct financial issues that smaller farmers have – most of them women and youth – but also ensure that climate action is there, in addition to access to finance.
TFFF [the Tropical Forest Forever Facility] will not and should not replace any source of funds. We are not saying this is the mother of all the facilities, and everybody else goes there. This is meant to complement and bring more money to support forests, because we need more money.
We are standing at a decisive point in history. Science, local knowledge and capital are converging as never before. If we act now, we can reshape finance into a force that allows humanity to prosper within planetary boundaries.
Finance must become an enabler of well-being, not unsustainable growth. It must serve regeneration, not its opposite – depletion, exploitation – and it must be rooted in values.
