Innovative mechanisms for financing biodiversity

Why attend
Biodiversity finance mechanisms are financial instruments and policy instruments used to mobilize, collect, manage and disburse funding. Come learn about their potential for scaling biodiversity finance flows.
HideDescription
This session aim to discuss the potential of innovative biodiversity finance mechanisms for scaling global biodiversity finance flows. In addition to reviewing a selection of innovative public and private mechanisms from the UNDP BIOFIN Catalogue of Finance Solutions, we will review the experiences of supporting the R&D and piloting of new financing mechanisms, such as the Nature+ Accelerator and HSBC Pollination Climate Asset Management. Participants will describe their challenges in designing mechanisms, roadblocks in developing their first transactions, and the most pressing challenges to scaling private finance into conservation.
