- Biodiversity Finance Solutions for Africa -

With the COP15 to the UN Convention on Biodiversity coming up, Biodiversity finance solutions have also gained more traction.
The United Nations Development Programme’s Biodiversity Finance Initiative (UNDP-BIOFIN) has demonstrated how developing countries can be trendsetters in delivering sustainable finance solutions for people and planet.

The initiative is working with governments, civil society organizations, vulnerable communities and the private sector to catalyze nature-positive investments. Through an evidence-based approach, it guides countries to develop Biodiversity Finance Plans.
Finance solutions are tailored to a country's own context, making the solutions more impactful. Over 150 biodiversity finance solutions were identified by the initiative.

The authors Marco Arlaud and Simon Nazer have compiled an informative blog for the Green Policy Platform with an introduction to the topic and some interesting examples of biodiversity finance in Africa.
