We are proud to share that four new partners have joined the Hub: Ecotrust Canada, Climate Risk Institute, Forest Finance Initiative, and InSight Biodiversity.
Please take a look below to learn more about these partners and their work.
Ecotrust Canada’s mission is to build an economy that provides for life. For over 30 years, they have partnered with rural, remote, and Indigenous communities to create the conditions for economic activity that supports both community well-being and ecosystem health. Their work spans community fisheries, climate resilience, food systems, Indigenous homelands, and community energy. Each of these program areas is anchored by on-the-ground, in-community project work, with a shared focus on strengthening the connection between people and place.
The Climate Risk Institute equips professionals with training, tools, and systems that make climate and nature readiness part of everyday practice, in Canada and internationally. CRI’s work as a not-for-profit, academically affiliated organization involves applied research, professional training, credentialing, and use of practical decision tools to support people, organizations, and sectors who plan, build, finance, and manage the natural and built systems we all rely on.
Forest Finance Initiative (FFI) is a mission driven company bridging the gap between capital markets and land stewards. By bringing together cutting-edge science, Indigenous knowledge, and advanced economic modeling FFI is able to unlock the value of healthy forests. Using innovative approaches to nature financing, FFI works with partners to develop projects that strengthen the biodiversity and climate resilience of natural assets while creating high impact returns for all stakeholders. FFI believes that healthy forests are key to both a healthy society and a healthy economy.
InSight Biodiversity is founded on the belief that some of the world’s most innovative conservation approaches have been developed in the Global South but have rarely made their way to countries like Canada. The team is currently adapting the Savimbo Indicator Species Biodiversity Methodology (ISBM), a framework co-designed by Indigenous Peoples in the Colombian Amazon and the basis for the world’s first certified voluntary biodiversity credits, for application in British Columbia.
