BTG Pactual TIG Raises $370 Million for Latin America Timberland Strategy
Abatify Summary
Nature & Climate Perspective
The $370 million commitment to Latin American timberland facilitates large-scale carbon removal by transforming degraded landscapes into managed forest ecosystems.
- Significant expansion of LULUCF (Land Use, Land-Use Change, and Forestry) activities to restore ecological functions in priority biomes.
- Enhancement of carbon sequestration capacity through the integration of native species restoration alongside sustainable timber production.
- Improvement of regional biodiversity corridors and soil stability by converting unproductive land into permanent forest cover.
Market & Policy Outlook
This investment underscores a shift toward institutional-grade nature-based assets that are increasingly evaluated against the ICVCM’s Core Carbon Principles to ensure high-integrity carbon credits.
- Alignment with ICVCM Core Carbon Principles (CCPs) ensures that generated credits meet rigorous standards for additionality and permanence, mitigating greenwashing risks.
- The capital influx increases market liquidity for Nature-Based Solutions (NbS), providing a blueprint for Article 6.2 bilateral agreements between Latin American host nations and international buyers.
- Supports corporate compliance with Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) requirements by providing a supply of high-quality removals for hard-to-abate Scope 3 emissions.
