FORESTA: Deployable Living Forests & the Future of Carbon Infrastructure

About This Event

Welcome

What if we could deploy forests like infrastructure—modular, scalable, measurable, and designed to restore ecosystems while drawing down carbon? In this compact, ideas-dense session, we explore FORESTA—a vision for deployable "living forests" and how nature-based systems could evolve into the next layer of carbon infrastructure: resilient, trackable, and capable of supporting climate adaptation alongside carbon removal. You'll hear how "living" solutions can be planned with the rigor of traditional infrastructure—while delivering co-benefits like biodiversity recovery, urban cooling, watershed resilience, and community wellbeing.
