The Biodiversity Finance Initiative (BIOFIN) is organizing a webinar on the role of nature markets and biodiversity credits in mobilizing finance for conservation and ecosystem restoration. As countries seek to address the biodiversity finance gap, the event will explore how these emerging mechanisms can support conservation outcomes while ensuring integrity, transparency and positive benefits for nature and people.
The webinar will bring together experts from finance, policy, standard-setting bodies, project development, and Indigenous Peoples and local communities to discuss emerging trends, practical experiences and enabling conditions for credible and effective nature markets.
Topics will include:
- Emerging trends in biodiversity credits and nature markets
- Opportunities and risks in market design and governance
- Safeguards, monitoring, verification and benefit-sharing approaches
- The role of nature markets in complementing public finance and supporting national biodiversity goals
- Lessons learned from implementation
The session is intended for policymakers, finance practitioners, conservation professionals, project developers and others interested in biodiversity finance and innovative conservation funding mechanisms.
