AI and Nature-Based Solutions: Scaling Regeneration and Resilience
The biodiversity crisis is more than an environmental issue — it’s an economic and systemic challenge that could erode $2.7 trillion from the global GDP annually. As nature-based solutions rise to the forefront of strategies for climate action, questions about their scalability, integrity, and impact remain critical.
In this Luminarias fireside chat, Dr. Manuel Piñuela, founder and CEO of Cultivo, joins Impact Entrepreneur’s Laurie Lane-Zucker to explore the transformative role of AI in scaling nature-based solutions and regenerating ecosystems. Cultivo’s innovative platform builds and manages portfolios of high-quality natural capital projects that deliver financial returns, enhance biodiversity, and empower local communities, particularly in the Global South.
From regenerating degraded grasslands to creating economic opportunities for under-resourced communities, Manuel sheds light on how businesses and investors can adopt regenerative practices, safeguard natural assets, and integrate biodiversity into their climate strategies to meet 2030 commitments.
Join us for an engaging conversation about the urgent need for high-integrity nature-based solutions, the transformative power of AI in environmental restoration, and the path to a more sustainable and resilient global economy.
