Impact Lab 1 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

As nature degradation accelerates and institutions rethink their role in shaping a well-being economy, a new frontier is emerging: mutual value creation through nature restoration. This 40-minute dialogue brings together key leaders to explore how protecting nature is not only a moral imperative—but a strategic one.

Investing in Place: Blueprint for Nature Protection and Regenerative Prosperity (Part 2)

17 Sep 2025, 10:45:00 - 11:45:00 (GMT+8:00)
Impact Lab 1 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

This interactive workshop builds on the morning panel discussion by taking participants into Indonesia as a living laboratory for regenerative local economies. Using SecondMuse’s Economic Design and Development Tool (EDDT), it will explore how place-based investing can connect biodiversity protection with sustainable livelihoods and inclusive economic growth.

Nature Restoration Partnerships

Scaling Up: Designing Asia’s Nature Protection and Regenerative Finance Platform (Part 3)

17 Sep 2025, 11:45:00 - 12:45:00 (GMT+8:00)
Impact Lab 1 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

This final chapter builds on the morning panel and place-based sessions to co-design a Singapore-based blended finance platform aimed at mobilising capital to transform Asia’s economic systems. Drawing on insights from nature restoration and place-based investing, participants will explore how philanthropic, public, and private capital can be combined to finance well-being economies—absorbing risk, stabilising markets, and enabling investment in regenerative value chains.

Climate & Nature Nature Restoration

From Pilots to Systemic Shifts, Building Bold Pathways

17 Sep 2025, 13:45:00 - 14:45:00 (GMT+8:00)
Impact Lab 1 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

If your climate plan fits in a spreadsheet, it’s too small. It’s time to think in living systems, not silos—because what benefits nature also strengthens your community and your core business. It’s time to stop tinkering at the edges. This session challenges leaders to go beyond pilot projects and start reimagining entire systems—how we produce, trade, consume, and regenerate. From finance to food, from supply chains to policy, we will surface real-world pathways for scaling climate action and nature-based solutions that honour both planetary health and human dignity.

Scaling Climate Action and Nature-Based Solutions: From Intent to Impact

17 Sep 2025, 14:45:00 - 15:45:00 (GMT+8:00)
Impact Lab 1 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

If you think small businesses can’t drive big change, think again—nature-positive futures will be built by those closest to the land, the food, and the water we depend on. Scaling climate action is not just about ambition—it’s about turning intention into real, measurable impact. In this session, we’ll highlight how small and medium enterprises (SMEs) can play a catalytic role in weaving climate ambition and nature-based solutions directly into the fabric of Singapore’s economy. We’ll move beyond generic strategies and explore practical, grounded approaches to integrate food, forestry, water, and waste solutions into the core of business models.

Roots of Resilience: Financing Mangroves for Climate and Community Impact

17 Sep 2025, 15:45:00 - 17:00:00 (GMT+8:00)
Impact Lab 1 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

If mangroves protect us from the storm, why aren’t we protecting them with our capital? Can we finally finance nature as infrastructure—not charity? Mangrove forests are a vital yet overlooked asset in Asia’s fight against climate change and coastal vulnerability. From absorbing carbon to shielding coastlines and sustaining millions of livelihoods, mangroves offer triple wins for climate, biodiversity, and communities. But to scale mangrove restoration, we need more than conservation—we need capital, community partnerships, and a new financing model.

De-Risk & Scale: Blended-Finance Pathways for Climate-Smart Food & Agri-tech

18 Sep 2025, 10:00:00 - 10:45:00 (GMT+8:00)
Impact Lab 1 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

Piloting innovative agri-food and climate solutions is difficult, but the greater challenge lies in scaling these from promising pilots to viable market-ready solutions. Traditional finance often views such ventures as too risky, creating a funding gap known as the “valley of death” where many breakthroughs stall.
