Collective Action to Make Nature and Climate Outcomes Financially Viable

High-Level Roundtable - São Paulo, Brazil
November 4, 2025

Against the backdrop of the COP30 Presidency’s call for a Global Mutirão – a society -wide mobilization for climate and nature solutions – the IFA São Paulo roundtable focused on a specific dimension: Mutirão for Markets. The central question was how to use policy, finance, and value-chain initiatives as well as commitments to make nature and climate outcomes financially attractive along agri-food supply chains.
The purpose of the roundtable was threefold:
To examine how climate- and nature-positive practices can be integrated into mainstream agri-food business models, not as an add-on but as a source of resilience, competitiveness, and long-term profitability.
To identify the de-risking mechanisms and enabling policies required for banks, investors, and companies to scale such models across Brazil and other tropical regions.
To converge on a small number of “super-leverage points” that could turn the Brazil experience into a platform for global cooperation.
