The Coalition for Private Investment in Conservation includes some of the world’s largest and most influential financial institutions and develops “financial blueprints” for investments that generate conservation outcomes. Thanks to leadership from IUCN, EcoAgriculture Partners, WWF and others, the Terms of Reference for its newest working group, focused on Landscape Finance, are now being developed. By reviewing the draft TOR, this session reveals what is new and different about this class of financial mechanisms, and how you can get involved in shaping them.
