Why attend
Join us to discover innovative financial tools like debt conversion through our Nature Bonds Program and Project Finance for Permanence (PFP) that drive biodiversity conservation and climate action. Hear about how these mechanisms unlock sustainable funding, mobilize resources, scale impact and ensure long-term environmental protection for generations to come.
Session Description
National governments worldwide are committed to conservation and climate action but often lack resources, particularly in low-income countries facing debt distress. This event showcases innovative financial mechanisms like The Nature Conservancy’s Nature Bonds Program and the multi-stakeholder initiative Project Finance for Permanence (PFP), which unlock sustainable funding, close climate and biodiversity financing gaps, and ensure long-term environmental protection. Through case studies from Gabon, Ecuador, The Bahamas (Nature Bonds) and Mongolia, Kenya, and the Great Bear Sea (PFP), alongside insights from government and financial partners, we’ll explore how these tools help countries meet 30x30 goals, NBSAPs, and NDCs. By promoting partnerships and scalable solutions like debt conversion and PFP, we demonstrate how to mainstream conservation into economic systems, ensuring just and equitable outcomes. These approaches provide stable, long-term finance for climate, biodiversity, and communities, driving transformative action at the nature-climate nexus and fostering global resilience.
