The Finance for Biodiversity (F4B) initiative has joined the Green Finance Platform as a new partner in green finance knowledge.
F4B was established in 2019 to increase the materiality of biodiversity in financial decision-making in order to better align global finance with nature conservation and restoration.
The initiative is advancing five workstreams that create and amplify the feedback signals, which in turn increase the value of biodiversity in private and public financing decisions:
F4B is a dual-purpose platform, both with its own research and implementation capability as well as a programme for regranting resources to others. It is supported by the MAVA Foundation and is guided by a leadership group of experts and practitioners in the field. Other partners include Vivid Economics, Global Canopy, the UN Task Force on Nature Related Financial Disclosures, Bankers without Boundaries, Refinitiv, Green Digital Finance Alliance, Basic Roots Consulting and the Swiss Philanthropy Foundation.
The initiative aims to achieve its goal by engaging key organizations, experts and influencers to align their agendas and establish a common framework for biodiversity and finance. FB4 follows a dynamic learning model that quickly tests, learns and reinforces success through collaboration, leveraging of existing initiatives and catalysing new areas of work.
