From Commitment to Capital: Scaling Finance for durable Marine Protection
Location: Main Room
Organizers: The Pew Charitable Trusts
The Blue Nature Alliance shares lessons learned from their conservation finance team and partners on what enables successful conservation finance planning for marine areas
This year’s global stock-take underscores the need to rapidly accelerate progress towards GBF targets, but insufficient funding remains one of the largest obstacles to both establishing protected areas, and ensuring their successful management for the long-term. The gap to “30 by 30” is even larger for marine areas than terrestrial, increasing the urgency for marine-focused conservation finance pathways.
In this event, the Blue Nature Alliance will share lessons-learned and success stories on country-led financing initiatives to ensure effectively managed marine protected areas (MPAs) and inform pathways to closing the marine finance gap.
