This roundtable will explore how biodiversity finance can become more gender-responsive, accessible and locally led, while strengthening synergies across biodiversity, land restoration and climate action. The discussion will focus on barriers to accessing finance, direct and community-led funding approaches, and practical ways to ensure that resources reach women, Indigenous Peoples, local communities and other actors managing biodiversity on the ground.

The event is co-organized by:

• CBD Women’s Caucus
• Fundación Ambiente y Recursos Naturales (FARN)
• Synchronicity Earth
• Fauna & Flora
• Indigenous Peoples of Asia Solidarity Fund (IPAS Fund)
• Kenya Wildlife Conservancies Association
• International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN)
• IUCN Commission on Environmental, Economic and Social Policy (CEESP) 
• Drynet
• Rights and Resources Initiative (RRI)
