Developing resource mobilization tools for biodiversity management in Zambia
Biodiversity management in Zambia calls for a broader financing landscape and innovation to mobilize resources for biodiversity conservation in line with the 2030 Agenda. On the occasion of International Day for Biological Diversity, UN Volunteers with the UN Development Programme (UNDP) share how identifying a financial solution can be the first step in building a shared future for all.
The Biodiversity Finance Initiative (BIOFIN) is a global initiative under UNDP that currently operates in 41 countries to create sustainable financial solutions that not only protect biodiversity, but also let it flourish.
As part of the initiative, Joshua Mabeta, a national UN Volunteer Research Assistant with UNDP, has been working to achieve the broader biodiversity conservation goal by developing the Biodiversity Finance Plan.
