Description
“The Global Biodiversity Framework, adopted in late 2022, is a landmark agreement to guide global action on nature through to 2030. A key target in the framework is to mobilise at least $200 billion per year from public and private sources for biodiversity-related funding. How will we achieve that? Our host, Chiraag Shah, is joined in this episode by Anna Ducros and Andreas Hansen to discuss what is biodiversity finance and what are some of the financing mechanisms available to achieve the $200 billion per year target.  Ducros is a Researcher and Nature Economist at the International Institute for Environment and Development working on how markets and market mechanisms contribute to environmental sustainability. Hansen is a Senior Policy Adviser for Ocean and Conservation Finance at The Nature Conservancy where he provides government relations advice on Blue Bonds strategy and coordinates global ocean policy work.  This episode is conceptualised, researched and hosted by Chiraag Shah; produced by Annelisse Escobar, Gloria Wawira and Vitor Tomaz; and edited by Paul Austin.
