As the world gathers in Belém, where forests, rivers and communities meet, this opening plenary will explore how finance can serve those protecting nature’s frontlines.
Leaders from governments, multilateral institutions, the private sector and frontline communities will share how innovative finance mechanisms are reshaping how capital flows to local actors and ecosystems – from payment for ecosystem services to results-based instruments, impact finance and biodiversity credits.
We will showcase innovations from across the Global South to demonstrate how locally-driven solutions can inspire systemic change, while global actors are working to bridge international frameworks with local conditions. Together, these partnerships point to a future where finance protects and regenerates ecosystems, supports communities and delivers shared prosperity.
