Why Grasslands Matter for Nature and Investors

As the UN Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists approaches in 2026, this panel explores the ecological and financial value of grasslands ecosystems, which cover 40% of the Earth’s surface and store over 30% of terrestrial carbon.

Using real-world examples, including the innovative investment approach of Octopus Energy Generation, the session will show how grassland regeneration can boost biodiversity, improve climate resilience, and deliver strong financial returns. Attendees will gain practical insight into how restoring these landscapes supports environmental goals while unlocking new opportunities for investment and rural development.
