Building a path to finance the biodiversity framework – Outcomes of the 7th GLF Investment Case Symposium

Presented at the 7th GLF Investment Case Symposium, Rewarding Nature: A Roadmap to Finance the Biodiversity Plan, held in Cali, Colombia, alongside COP16, this outcome statement outlines six building blocks for financing biodiversity to reverse biodiversity loss by 2030.

 

  1. Recognizing Nature’s Value: Incentivize sustainable practices through Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) and biodiversity certifications.
  2. Empowering Local Communities: Provide fair funding and capacity-building for Indigenous Peoples and local communities.
  3. Landscape-Based Solutions: Promote integrated, cross-sectoral approaches for large-scale biodiversity impact.
  4. Domestic Finance & Subsidy Reform: Strengthen national funding mechanisms and redirect harmful subsidies.
  5. Private Investment Mobilization: Encourage biodiversity-positive investments through blended finance and de-risking strategies.
  6. Raising Ambition: Scale global funding commitments and simplify access to financial resources for conservation projects.

 

This roadmap highlights innovative and collaborative solutions to finance biodiversity, ensuring nature and communities thrive together.
