Canada is taking action to build a future that protects, restores and values nature as the foundation of our economy, sovereignty and well-being. A new report from Canada’s Nature Advantage, Realizing the Value of Nature to Unlock Billions for a Stronger, More Resilient Canadian Economy, reveals actionable solutions to realize the vision outlined in the Government of Canada’s A Force for Nature strategy and align with the views of 93% of Canadians who see nature as one of our most valuable economic assets.

Join us for a timely webinar launching the new report to learn how valuing nature can drive growth, unlock private investment and strengthen Canada’s economic resilience. Drawing on research from Oxford Economics, Serecon, UBC Professor Dr. Tara Atleo, Wahkohtowin Development GP, Smart Prosperity Institute and Royal Bank of Canada Climate Action Institute, the report outlines practical pathways to realizing Canada’s vision to build an economy that benefits people and the planet. 

Speakers will explore the role of Indigenous stewardship, barriers to investment, and the policy and finance tools needed to unlock billions across agriculture, forestry and Indigenous‑led economies. The session will include key findings, real‑world insights and a moderated Q&A.

Featured speakers:

• David Flood, Executive Director, Wahkohtowin Development Inc.

• Eoin Callan, Managing Director, Bloom Impact Capital

• Martha Rogers, Senior Economist, Nature United’s global affiliate – The Nature Conservancy
