Healthy societies, resilient economies and thriving businesses rely on nature. Through their activities, financial institutions have an impact on nature. They can finance restoration and protection of nature via a number of financial vehicles, and in this way, help close the global biodiversity funding gap by developing innovative deals such as debt for nature swaps. That is why the brand-new Mobilising more for climate podcast will discuss examples of conservation finance and nature-based solutions in low-income and lower-middle-income countries. In each episode, we will examine the importance of investing in local projects with a return on nature, people and climate. - Through stories from the forefront of nature & climate finance, we will discuss how new and existing investments can help close the biodiversity funding gap. - This podcast series is part of the Mobilising more for climate programme; a five-year programme implemented by IUCN NL, WWF NL and Tropenbos International, funded by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Co-produced by BBK/Door Vriendschap Sterker.
