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

• International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN)

•  IUCN’s Commission on Environmental, Economic and Social Policy (CEESP) 

• Drynet
