Lessons from NGOs to boost funding against the climate and biodiversity crises

Local NGOs have been crucial to the development of impact projects for biodiversity conservation and climate action. However, they have also faced challenges in resource management, such as: the continuity of processes, financing for more than 5 years, and support for holistic interventions addressing biodiversity, climate change and poverty, in competition with other organizations.
These factors have led us to implement strategies such as:
i) expanding our financing portfolio,
ii) involving different industries,
iii) the management of national funds, and
iv) proposing public-private coalitions with the academic and business sectors.
This session will explore the experiences of local NGOs in biodiversity conservation, highlighting both challenges and opportunities.
