Coronavirus and the Conservation Finance Community

The second discussion will be held on Monday, May 11th at 10:00AM EST!

This second discussion will focus on 3 topics:

An exploration of conservation finance mechanisms in relation to covid - what are the interesting options and risks?  

How to support the 'greening' of stimulus packages to benefit conservation and the environment.

What  potential opportunities can we pursue to utilize debt relief programs to benefit biodiversity in light of ballooning global debt.

There is no doubt that COVID-19 has had far reaching impacts on the global stage. Ranging from the healthcare sector to the global economy, and from climate change to our own interpersonal daily lives as we adjust to this ‘new normal’, the impacts of the novel coronavirus will surely be felt for the coming years.

Members of the CFA have proposed an online discussion to explore how COVID-19 is impacting local, national and global efforts towards conservation finance.
