Description: The Conservation Finance Alliance (CFA) Incubator fosters innovative solutions to conservation challenges. These solutions use finance or economic tools to create clear conservation outcomes or sustained conservation financing. This webinar, the third in a series of five, will showcase two solutions for raising capital from tourism and blending finance for infrastructure investments.
In the first half of the webinar, Bhalin Singh of Prajna Ventures will present the Global Green Visa®. The Global Green Visa® (GGV) transforms global tourism into a dedicated and consistent revenue stream for lasting environmental and social impact. Seamlessly embedded within a nation’s existing e-visa system, it adds a modest, transparent contribution directly into priority biodiversity conservation outcomes. The management and use of the funds are independently verified and transparent. Designed for global scaling, GGV is a credible, repeatable model for financing nature. Each green visa becomes an invitation to invest in the planet.
In the second half of the webinar Onkemetse Nteta of IUCN will present the Transfrontier Conservation Area (TCFA) Infrastructure Finance Mechanism. Unmet funding needs for the development and management of TFCAs, particularly for infrastructure development and maintenance, are a critical challenge for many countries in the Southern African Development Community (SADC). The TCFA Financing Facility is a regional funding mechanism designed to provide sustainable funding for conservation and management actions in SADC TCFAs. The Facility will capture growing interest from donors and the private sector to develop a EUR 100 million blended finance structure to deliver infrastructure at scale in four selected TFCAs. Infrastructure will improve protected areas management effectiveness, unlock the economic potential of TFCAs, and promote social uplift for TFCA communities.
The CFA Incubator is supported by Milkywire’s Nature Transformation Fund in collaboration with Klarna.
