From the Ground Up: Mobilising Subnational Partnerships to Build New Forest Economies.
Protecting tropical forests at scale requires governments, communities, businesses and funders to work across entire landscapes.
This Climate Week NYC session brings together subnational governments, Indigenous leaders, technical experts and partner organisations to explore how stronger partnerships can unlock finance, build capacity and turn climate commitments into action.
During the event, Earthworm Foundation and the Governors’ Climate and Forests Task Force will announce a three-year collaboration focused on developing regional projects, sharing practical solutions and mobilising funding for bioeconomy, sustainable commodities and restoration.
As companies move into the post-2025 phase of deforestation- and conversion-free commitments, questions are shifting from targets to delivery. This one-hour webinar brings together corporate, supplier, coalition, and field perspectives to reflect on what genuinely helped advance commitments forward, where structural challenges remain, and what matters next. The discussion will focus on practical tools, real-world constraints, and how companies are beginning to move beyond compliance toward more resilient forest-positive supply chains.
Featuring voices from The Hershey Company, AAK, Tropical Forest Alliance, and Earthworm Foundation.

Earthworm Foundation CEO Bastien Sachet reflects with Ian Welsh on why environmental and supply chain shocks are caused by long-term neglect rather than short-term disruption. Bastien argues that businesses have treated nature as a free factory, optimising costs while failing to reinvest in soils, forests and farming communities. They explore why regenerative, place-based approaches and long-term partnerships are becoming essential to secure future supply, manage risk and maintain competitiveness.
