Aligning Public Development Banks with the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework
31 January 2022
The webinar discussed how public development banks (PDBs) can support the post-2020 global biodiversity framework and make a positive contribution to biodiversity.
The session unpacked the ‘financing green’ concept and how PDB’s invest in nature. It also tackled how PDBs can support in-country enabling conditions and policy environments to facilitate private finance and investments that generate biodiversity co-benefits and help align funds with climate objectives.
