Yesterday at one of the #COP15 sessions, South African representatives presented several blended finance opportunities to support biodiversity, there’s effort put into creating platforms for mobilization, and the opportunity Chidzero mentions here is promising – at Montréal, Québec
Africa offers a unique opportunity to contribute to global climate objectives through nature-based solutions, providing carbon sinks and credits, highlights @AMChidzero from FSD Africa #COP15
