I) Provide a clearing house for protected area financing- “Match making” -
• Electronic clearing house of funding needs • Help facilitate funding matches• Support donor coordination and cost sharing
II) Encourage and recognize financing - “Wedding Planning” -
• Support to estimate carbon biodiversity synergies• Profile at CBD, UNFCCC, and other venues• Tracking of development cooperation for protected areas
What we do

Climate Change Mitigation
Climate change mitigation financing:
• Forests and protected areas are a key component of reducing carbon emissions
• In developing countries, protected areas should be a key component of REDD planning.
• Prioritising financing of carbon and protected areas beyond REDD markets

How to submit a project (Expression of Interest )
www.cbd.int/lifeweb
• Short and simple template www.cbd.int/lifeweb/submit
• Criteria• Sustain biodiversity, secure livelihoods,
address climate change• Consistent with national development priorities• Based on protected area system priorities
• Who should submit• CBD or PoWPA Focal Points• Indigenous or Local Community Groups
System Scale Expressions of Interest
• Relevant for countries who have a vision of their comprehensive financial gap based on national planning.
• Financing at this scale is generally $2 million and greater.
