Description
This session will dive into the potential of development finance to unlock private finance for biodiversity in developing countries. It will explore the challenges and opportunities of the private sector to support biodiversity-related projects (e.g. conservation, agroecology, nature-based solutions), and tap into the role of development co-operation providers in scaling-up their efforts. It will also seek to better understand existing policy levers and financial mechanisms to mobilise private finance for biodiversity action. The aim of this session is to reflect on evidence, policies and action needed to scale financing for biodiversity, including through blended finance.
