Webinar: Marine Financing and Revenue Pathways for Coastal and Ocean Ecosystems

Webinar: Marine Financing and Revenue Pathways for Coastal and Ocean Ecosystems

This webinar is part of the UNDP-UNEP FI Public-Private Community of Practice on Nature and Development Finance series as part of Revenues for Nature, which bridges private finance strategies with government-led National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs) to mobilize funding for nature. The series focuses on key enablers to achieve the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF) Target 19, aligning public and private sector priorities to unlock new investment opportunities.    This session explores how marine finance, financial instruments can unlock credible revenue pathways to scale nature-positive investment and support national implementation of the Global Biodiversity Framework. Bringing together public, private, and community stakeholders, the session draws on emerging insights from Revenues for Nature–supported models and global case studies to examine practical approaches already in action—from regulatory and supply chain mechanisms to compensatory schemes. Speakers will share early lessons on aligning ecological outcomes, social benefits, and investor returns, and outline the enabling conditions for success across geographies and sectors, including blended finance and derisking structures, standardized MRV and governance frameworks, modular project design, and strong community participation. The discussion will distill actionable insights for governments, financial institutions, corporates, and project developers on integrating revenue pathways into national biodiversity finance strategies and mobilizing private capital at scale.
