About the Series
As global demand for climate and biodiversity finance accelerates, a critical gap remains between funding needs and available resources. While investments in Nature-based Solutions (NbS) are growing, they are still far outweighed by flows into nature-negative activities. At the same time, public finance is under pressure—making it increasingly important to understand and engage with innovative financing mechanisms.
This three-part webinar series will explore emerging tools such as carbon markets, biodiversity credits, and other innovative finance pathways, helping practitioners navigate a rapidly evolving funding landscape.
Bringing together experts from Global Affairs Canada’s Partnering for Climate (P4C) community, IUCN and beyond, the series will demystify concepts, share practical experiences, and spark dialogue on how these mechanisms can support climate action, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable development.
Objectives
- Build understanding of emerging climate and biodiversity finance mechanisms
- Share real-world experiences from global initiatives and pilot projects
- Highlight opportunities, risks, and integrity considerations
- Promote informed engagement with donors, governments, and private sector actors
- Identify priorities for collaboration and future capacity development
Who Should Attend?
This series is designed for beginner to intermediate practitioners working across:
- NGOs and civil society organizations
- Government institutions
- Academia and research
- Private sector and development partners
If you are working at the intersection of climate, biodiversity, and finance, this series is for you.
Why This Matters
With financing needs rapidly growing—and traditional funding under strain—understanding innovative finance is no longer optional.
This series provides a unique opportunity to explore how finance can better serve climate, people, and nature—together.
