You can also connect with CTrees at roundtables and discussions throughout the week, including these invite-only events that we’ll be hosting with our partners:

U.S. LULUCF GHG Inventory Roundtable

Wednesday, September 23, 2026, 9:00-10:30 a.m.

By invitation only. Reach out to Chris Woodall at cwoodall@ctrees.org for details.

Hosted by CTrees and the Data Foundation, this invite-only roundtable will convene technical leaders associated with developing past UNFCCC greenhouse gas inventories of the U.S. land sector with the stakeholders who currently depend on them. Attendees will spend the morning discussing the current state of technical efforts, clarifying roles across federal, state, and private actors, and working towards a shared roadmap for more durable U.S. land-sector accounting infrastructure.

Lighting round guest speakers will include:

Running Out of Time: Fast-Tracking JREDD+ Investment to Save the World's Forests

Wednesday, September 23, 2026, 2:00-3:30 p.m.

By invitation only. Reach out to Raymond Song at rsong@ctrees.org for details.

The world's three great forest basins are losing forest for different reasons: the Amazon to record fire and degradation, Southeast Asia to expanding legal conversion, and the Congo Basin to small-scale farming and conflict. Yet forest finance remains one-size-fits-all, slow, and thin, moving nowhere near the pace or scale the climate crisis demands. JREDD's premise, that forests deliver climate benefits beyond carbon, only matters if capital reaches these programs fast enough to bank it.

​The core obstacle is timing. Capital typically arrives at issuance, years after programs are designed, while governments design programs with no certainty anyone will buy. Sovereign authorization risk deters investors; demand uncertainty deters jurisdictions. The programs attracting real capital have succeeded because buyers, jurisdictions, and partners came together at the early stage, not after.

​During New York Climate Week, CTrees is convening an invitation-only, closed-door roundtable to confront this gap, discussing a model that front-loads JREDD investment so NDC commitments, TFFF, and Article 6 markets can scale together, fast enough to match the pace of loss across all three basins.

The session opens with CTrees' new global outlook on deforestation, degradation, fire, and recovery across all three basins, followed by government leaders sharing their vision for forest carbon markets, then a candid, off-the-record discussion with investors, funders, and institutions on how to move from incremental pilots to finance at the speed and scale this decade demands, before the opportunity to protect these forests, and the climate benefits they provide, is lost.

Managing Wildfire Risk for Investable Forests

Thursday, September 24, 2026, 9:00-11:00 a.m.

By invitation only. Reach out to Chris Woodall at cwoodall@ctrees.org for details.

Co-hosted by CTrees and Earth Fire Alliance (EFA) at the Doris Duke Foundation’s Tree House convening (opens in a new tab), this event brings two missions together in one room: CTrees' work to see every tree on Earth, and EFA's work to make every fire visible with the FireSat constellation. Across two panel discussions, speakers will explore how forest monitoring can inform finance, policy, and management strategies that make healthy, fire-resilient forests possible and investable.

Panel I | The Need
Timberland owners, forest managers, and community leaders will speak about the true cost of carrying wildfire risk.

Panel II | The Reveal
When every tree and every fire share one centralized map, what opens up?
