A new study mapped 141 financing mechanisms across the Amazon and found the same pattern throughout: the capital exists, but it rarely reaches the people on the ground. From investor education to the GLF Investment Case Symposium, three conversations this week on what it takes to close that gap — and what AIV has learned closing it.

AIV honours the world’s Indigenous Peoples by highlighting their role as the Amazon’s most effective forest protectors, the global inequities they face, and the impact‑linked finance model supporting Indigenous enterprises across forest‑positive value chains.

At London Climate Week, Amazonia Impact Ventures gathered leaders from Brazil, Peru and the investment community to examine why bioeconomy finance still struggles to reach the forest communities who sustain it. Speakers highlighted new national strategies, community‑led models and financial mechanisms emerging across the Amazon — and the structural alignment needed for capital to support them.

At London Climate Action Week, AIV and Practical Action brought together leaders from across the Amazon to examine a central question: what is the real risk of investing in Indigenous bioeconomies — and what is the risk of not doing so? Through stories of ancestral cacao, forest‑based products and emerging financial models, speakers showed how community‑led enterprises are reshaping the future of nature‑positive markets.

AIV is participating in London Climate Action Week 2026 with two events focused on financing the Amazon bioeconomy and scaling Indigenous‑led enterprises. As Europe’s largest climate festival, LCAW brings together global leaders across finance, policy and civil society. AIV is proud to contribute Amazon‑rooted insight to the UK climate finance community, highlighting commercially viable forest enterprises and the structural changes needed to unlock capital for communities.

Trimtab has joined the Amazonia Impact Fund I as an investor in a new series of commitments, backing AIV’s work across the Amazon’s bioeconomy. The impact‑first firm invests in markets conventional finance struggles to reach, supporting cooperatives, mid‑chain actors and Indigenous producers entering formal finance for the first time. Trimtab’s catalytic and senior tranches signal confidence in the viability of nature‑based value networks.

Lands managed by Indigenous Peoples lose less tree cover, store more carbon, and sustain richer biodiversity. This week in London, Indigenous Business Week unites leaders from Latin America, Africa and Asia to advance fair trade and market access. Amazonia Impact Ventures is proud to attend, sharing our work financing Indigenous‑led cooperatives in the Amazon and linking them with ethical global buyers.
