Basándose en ejemplos de los sectores de tecnología y de empresas emergentes (startups), la UICN desarrolló la idea de una incubadora para identificar y alimentar las ideas de los administradores de áreas protegidas y de otros agentes que carecen de conocimientos, recursos o contactos profesionales para hacerlas realidad: la Incubadora para la Conservación de la Naturaleza (INC, por sus siglas en inglés).
Drawing on examples from the tech and startup sectors, IUCN developed the idea of an incubator to identify and nurture ideas coming from protected and conservation area managers and stakeholders who lack the knowledge, resources, or professional contacts to make them a reality: the IUCN Incubator for Nature Conservation (INC). The objective of the present document is to pull together the key lessons, examples and resources generated through the INC pilot projects to inform future conservation finance projects and help bridge the gap between conservation and investment.
Every year, billions of dollars of environmental aid flow from the rich governments of the North to the poor governments of the South. Why do donors provide this aid? What do they seek to achieve? How effective is the aid given? And does it always go to the places of greatest environmental need? All of these questions and many more are addressed in this groundbreaking text, which is based on the authors' work compiling the most comprehensive dataset of foreign aid ever assembled.
This policy brief examines how the inter-linkages approach to sustainable development governance can be used to help make sustainable development financing more effective and efficient. It provides an outline of the key processes and trends that serve to shape the current financing environment and provides concrete, practical, examples of how the interlinkages approach can, or has been, applied to the issue of financing in order to use the above trends to the advantage of sustainable development goals.
Wetlands have been the focus of conservation and restoration efforts for over a century, and governments, international actors (NGOs and academia) and local communities around the world are now increasingly engaging in wetland restoration or avoiding wetland degration activities for climate change mitigation. Yet despite the rapidly growing attention on wetland activities for climate mitigation, finding the appropriate funding sources to set up a wetland carbon project or develop a national wetland carbon program is often a challenge.
This report is a comprehensive overview of country-led efforts on climate change adaptation supported by the UNDP-GEF partnership with financing from the GEF-managed LDCF, SCCF and SPA funds. It examines the strategies, approaches and impacts to date of UNDPs adaptation programme and presents the preliminary achievements and lessons learned from projects in the UNDP-GEF portfolio (GEF-3 and GEF-4, 2006-2010).
