A great example of innovative sustainable financing that benefits people, nature, climate, and economies. Congratulations to Ecuador, The Nature Conservancy, U.S. International Development Finance Corporation, Inter-American Development Bank, Bank of America, and all those involved. #sustainablefinance #fornature #climate #climatefinance #climateaction #finance
CEO @ The Nature Conservancy | Leading bold efforts to scale conservation for people and nature.
Today, The Nature Conservancy is proud to announce the close of another Nature Bonds initiative – our largest yet – with the Republic of Ecuador! This collaboration is expected to unlock approximately $460 million for the conservation of terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems. The Ecuadorian Amazon is an incredibly biodiverse place, home to iconic species like the jaguar, toucan and tree frog. But the ecosystems and people of Ecuador, like the rest of the world, are increasingly vulnerable to the twin crises of biodiversity loss and climate change. The Republic of Ecuador is taking an innovative response to these challenges with a new debt conversion supported by The Nature Conservancy’s Nature Bonds Program, the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation, the Inter-American Development Bank and Bank of America. Expected to unlock approximately $460 million over the next 17 years, the effort will support the Amazon Biocorridor Program, a management model for effectively conserving the Ecuadorian Amazon region, and will: 🌎 Improve the management of 4.6 million hectares of existing protected areas 🌎 Protect an additional 1.8 million hectares of life-giving, climate-mitigating forests and wetlands and 18,000 kilometers of rivers 🌎 Bolster climate resilience 🌎 Support human well-being Co-designed with Indigenous Peoples and Nationalities, the program will support the establishment of new protected areas and the improved management of existing ones, combining local knowledge and scientific evidence to guide strategies that enhance ecological connectivity and resilience. Learn more about this effort, the first of its kind in the Ecuadorian Amazon, and what it means for Ecuador and beyond. ➡ https://lnkd.in/eGu6tTza

Our Land. Our Future 🌍 The 16th Conference of the Parties (COP16) to the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) is officially underway in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia - a pivotal gathering of nearly 200 nations focused on combating land degradation and building drought resilience. Over the next two weeks, representatives will advance global efforts to deliver the target of reducing degraded lands by 50% by 2040. 📢 Read more https://lnkd.in/ebEDdgRB Why it matters: ⚠️ Land degradation affects 1.5 billion hectares globally, with 100 million more hectares lost each year. 👥 Livelihoods of 3 billion people are at risk, with disproportionate impacts on tropical and low-income regions. 🌱 Restoring land supports food security, health, gender equality, and climate resilience. Key highlights from COP16 (so far) 📑 A newly released report, Planetary Boundaries: Confronting the Global Crisis of Land Degradation 💡 Spotlight on innovative financing mechanisms to unlock public and private capital for land restoration. 🌐 Launch of the Riyadh Global Drought Resilience Initiative and tools like the International Drought Observatory. 🌳 Focus on Nature-Based Solutions, Inclusive Land Governance, Sustainable Farming, and Technology Innovation to drive progress. At Enduring Earth, we are advancing the Project Finance for Permanence (PFP) model to ensure long-term funding for restoring and conserving over 180 million hectares of vital lands globally. This proven approach is designed and implemented through local leadership and sustainable funding to create durable solutions for people and nature. Together, we can reverse the tide of land degradation and nurture a resilient, equitable future. #LandRestoration #ClimateAction #UNCCD #COP16 #Sustainability #EnduringEarth #Resilience #UNited4land #ourlandourfuture #desertification #climate #climateaction ~ United Nations, UN Convention to Combat Desertification, Andrea Meza, Ibrahim Thiaw, The Nature Conservancy, Jennifer Morris, Zdenka Piskulich, Paulina Arroyo, World Wildlife Fund, The Pew Charitable Trusts

Great example of innovative financing - for nature and people! The new Bahamas Debt Conversion Project will refinance $300 million of its commercial external debt to unlock $124 million for marine conservation projects and climate change mitigation over the next 15 years. Congratulations to all those involved - Ministry of Agriculture & Marine Resources, Government of The Bahamas , The Nature Conservancy, Inter-American Development Bank, Builders Vision, Standard Chartered, AXA XL, Rothschild & Co #finance #nature #bond #bonds #debt #sustainablefinance #conservation #bahamas #innovation #partnership
📢 JUST ANNOUNCED: A new Nature Bonds project in The Bahamas will unlock USD 124 million of new cash funding (plus an additional estimated USD 8 million of endowment investment returns) for conservation over the next 15 years. https://nature.ly/410KRVs The Nature Conservancy is proud to be a part of this ground-breaking project, The Bahamas Debt Conversion Project for Marine Conservation, to support The Government of The Bahamas in meeting their ambitious conservation goals in support of both people and nature. With one of the largest systems of marine protected areas (MPAs) in the Caribbean, The Bahamas needs additional resources to ensure the effective management of its ocean space. The funding and technical support generated through this project will help The Bahamas support conservation goals and sustainable livelihoods. Effective protection and management of the world’s ocean are essential to protecting biodiversity, tackling climate change and supporting healthy communities and economies across the globe. The proven, innovative approach of our Nature Bonds Program combines debt refinancing, science, planning and policy to help countries protect ecosystems and support communities. In total, Nature Bonds projects have secured commitments to protect or improve management of roughly 238 million hectares of ocean and are expected to generate more than USD 535 million of new funding for conservation.

🌿 What does it mean when a Project Finance for Permanence (PFP) is 'closed' or 'signed'? It marks a pivotal milestone where partners, stewards, and funders come together to design, negotiate, and agree to nine essential components that form the core of a PFP's long-term success. The PFP model is unique for its single closing agreement, uniting partners under a shared vision, bold ambitions, and an innovative funding framework. By aligning public and private funding sources that typically operate in silos, PFPs unlock transformative change and lay the groundwork for enduring impact. With the recent signing of the Northwest Territories: Our Land for the Future PFP, discover how this approach continues to drive conservation innovation. Join Paulina Arroyo, Enduring Earth's Director of Global Portfolio, as she unpacks the 9 components that are central to every PFP agreement. 👉 Explore more https://lnkd.in/eH7ANcq6 #PFP #SustainableFinance #Finance #Conservation #LocalLeadership #ForNature #ClimateAction #partnership #innovation #future #sustainability #ProjectFinanceForPermanence #NatureBasedSolutions #ClimateFinance #InnovativeFinance #CollaborativeLeadership #FinanceForNature #FutureOfFinance #enduringearth

Exciting news! Today, the Northwest Territories PFP agreement was officially signed, marking an unprecedented, Indigenous-led effort to durably protect 38 million hectares of lands and waters —an area larger than Japan. The initiative, known as NWT: Our Land for the Future, secures CAD$375 million for Indigenous-led conservation, stewardship, and sustainable economic development across the region. This funding will support Indigenous Guardians programs, creating local jobs and enhancing stewardship, climate research, and emergency response. This work is vital in a region warming faster than the global average and recovering from devastating 2023 wildfires. Congratulations to everyone who made this historic milestone possible! #pfp #indigenousleadership #30x30 #canada #sustainablefinance #climate #climateaction
Today, TNC is proud to join local leaders in celebrating NWT: Our Land for the Future, one of the largest Indigenous-led conservation efforts in history. This landmark agreement will provide durable financing to Indigenous governments in the Northwest Territories of Canada, supporting these thriving communities and enabling the stewardship of these lands and waters for generations. The agreement, led by 22 Indigenous Governments, the governments of Canada and the Northwest Territories, and private donors, is set to unlock US$270 million for the protection and stewardship of 38 million hectares of Northwest Territory lands and waters, an area the size of Japan. It will be one of the largest conservation efforts to utilize the Project Finance for Permanence (PFP) model. Indigenous peoples have been vital stewards in safeguarding these lands and waters for millennia. With their leadership, this project is set to preserve biodiversity, protect nature, and benefit communities, with commitments for long-term conservation, stewardship, and community economic development goals identified by Indigenous partners who live there. This project, part of the Enduring Earth partnership, is a testament to “radical collaboration” and the power of scaling up innovative financing models, as well as the transformative impact of Indigenous-led stewardship. We recognize the tireless efforts of Indigenous leaders and their partners and congratulate them on this landmark achievement.

With negotiations now wrapped up at the UN Biodiversity Conference in Cali, Colombia, we’re reflecting on our engagement. At Enduring Earth, we know that partnership drives change. At COP16, this value held true, as we connected with local partners and Indigenous peoples who are leading sustainable finance initiatives around the world, funders who are investing resources to mobilize change, Conservation Trust Funds that are scaling durable finance for people and nature, and government leaders and COP16 negotiators who continue to push for a robust agreement and global biodiversity framework fund. Some highlights from COP16 included: 🌍 Building a Sustainable Finance Community: We held a Sustainable Finance Breakfast to spotlight progress and local leadership, and hosted an inspiring network of women leaders in conservation finance. 🌳 New Agreements for PFP: We celebrated agreements to advance sustainable financing for Project Finance for Permanence (PFP) initiatives in Panama with The Pew Charitable Trusts and in Bolivia with World Wildlife Fund, alongside the Foundation for the Development of the National System of Protected Areas (FUNDESNAP), National Service for Protected Areas (SERNAP), Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, The Nature Conservancy, and Wildlife Conservation Society. 🇲🇽 Scaling Durable Finance through Conservation Trust Funds: Partnering with the Mexican Fund for the Conservation of Nature we are expanding durable conservation efforts across Mexico and throughout the RedLAC network, and supporting Alicia Bárcena, Minister of Environment, Mexico, and USAID, in their efforts to protect #MEx30x30 🌊 Eastern Tropical Pacific Coalition: Minister Juan Carlos Navarro shared the announcement of a permanent secretariat to unite Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Panama in safeguarding the Eastern Tropical Pacific, supported by Bezos Earth Fund, Wyss Foundation, Re:wild, The Pew Charitable Trusts, Dona Bertarelli Philanthropy, and Enduring Earth 📖 Supported Global Environment Facility and RedLAC, CAFE, APNET in the launch of an assessment on Conservation Trust Funds. 🐘 Working in Partnership with Legacy Landscapes Fund Together, we highlighted how durable funding mechanisms can amplify positive impacts, creating spaces where nature and people thrive side by side We strengthened collaboration, connected with existing partners, and made new connections.
