Accelerating Finance for Climate & Nature Action, featuring the launch of the Peatland Breakthrough

As countries advance the implementation of the Paris Agreement, the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, the UNCCD and the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, the need for integrated, cross-cutting ecosystem solutions has become increasingly urgent.

This event will illustrate how governments, Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs), the private sector, and international partners can accelerate financial solutions and action on the ground through investment-ready peatland project pipelines.

The Peatland Breakthrough launch marks the start of its implementation phase, working as a whole of society towards investment-ready peatland project pipelines that can be matched with financial partners.
