Project Finance for Permanence, or PFP, is emerging as a powerful model for addressing one of the biggest challenges in conservation: securing the long-term financing needed to protect ecosystems through locally led conservation and community-driven stewardship. In this session from Devex Impact House at London Climate Action Week 2026, Zdenka Piskulich, managing director of Enduring Earth, discusses how blended finance approaches are helping align public, private, and philanthropic capital behind durable conservation outcomes. Drawing on insights from Enduring Earth’s 2025 Impact Report, the conversation explores how PFP models are being implemented in practice, the role of local leadership in achieving lasting impact, and what it will take to scale innovative financing solutions that deliver benefits for people, nature, and climate.
