Finance for Biodiversity (F4B):

▪️ An initiative to increase the materiality of biodiversity in financial decision-making, and so better align global finance with nature conservation and restoration.

▪️ It is supported by the MAVA Foundation as well as CIFF and its work is guided by a leadership group of experts and practitioners in the field.
