Sustainable Finance Stream:
Building a Secure Financial Future

The Final Report of the Sustainable Finance Stream is now available:
Building a Secure Financial Future: Finance & Resources

Summary

The Sustainable Finance Stream provided important input to the Vth World Parks Congress by raising awareness about the value of biodiversity in financial and socio-economic terms and by exploring how best that value can be translated into both revenue and broader support for biodiversity conservation. The value of benefits provided by protected areas throughout the world far exceed the costs required to manage and protect them. Those benefits accrue to local and indigenous communities, to national economies, and to the entire world.  The results of the various workshops are embodied in the official recommendations on financial security for PAs and private sector funding, submitted to the Vth World Parks Congress. They stress the necessity of diversifying and stabilizing the financial flows to protected areas and biodiversity conservation through appropriate incentives and implementation of diverse portfolios of finance mechanisms. Furthermore, innovative partnerships with the private sector should be fostered for the benefit of conservation and of local communities.
