IFACC

Innovative Finance for the Amazon, Cerrado and Chaco (IFACC) is a new initiative
from the United Nations Environment Programme, the Nature Conservancy and the
Tropical Forest Alliance. We serve as the “go-to” team for banks, companies and
investors seeking to expand innovative finance for deforestation/conversion-free
beef and soy in these regions.

A major transition is urgent for beef and soy production in South America.
Global demand is growing for sustainable foods, and consumer countries are
adopting new environmental regulations. Innovative Finance for the Amazon,
Cerrado and Chaco (IFACC) is a US$30 billion opportunity for banks, companies
and investors to protect South America’s most vulnerable and iconic biomes while
supporting two of its most important commodities.



The Amazon, Cerrado and Chaco regions of South America are food production
centers and vital stores of carbon, water and biodiversity. With the right
approaches, all three biomes can be protected while continuing to grow
agricultural production. The sustainable intensification of existing pasture can
meet future demand for beef and leather while also freeing up land for soy and
other agricultural products to expand without further conversion of natural
habitat

 

IFACC is a new initiative from the United Nations Environment Programme, the
Nature Conservancy and the Tropical Forest Alliance. We serve as the “go-to”
team for banks, companies and investors seeking to expand innovative finance for
deforestation/conversion-free beef and soy in these regions. We want to scale
innovative financial mechanisms—including farm loan products, farmland
investment funds, corporate debt instruments and capital markets offerings—and
help farmers implement proven business models to supply the global market
without further conversion of the Amazon, Cerrado and Chaco ecosystems.

 

Our experts have deep relationships with local farmers, banks, supply chain
companies and concessionary capital groups and work one-on-one with IFACC
signatories to provide:

 

We are seeking US$3 billion in commitments and $200 million in disbursements by
2023 and $10 billion in commitments and $1 billion in disbursements by 2025,
charting a course for rapid scaling over the next decade. Our work will
accelerate the flow of capital to sustainable commodity production and establish
new norms for lending and investing in the deforestation/conversion-free
production of cattle and soy.

 

IFACC will also help signatories meet the targets set by the Principles for
Responsible Banking and the Net-Zero Banking Alliance; and highlight their role
in innovative finance at Davos, COP and other key forums.
