Hosted by The Nature Conservancy, this moderated panel discussed featured leading voices from the federal government, business, state entities and stakeholders in the U.S. who have helped shape and participate in recent policy and funding actions pertaining to climate mitigation and resilience investments.

This timely discussion took place against the backdrop of recent historic legislation passed by the U.S. Congress and attention on the Biden-Harris administration’s work to prioritize implementation of nature-positive, climate-smart investments.
