• 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM How Aquatic Food Systems Can Contribute to the Global Biodiversity Frame

  How Aquatic Food Systems Can Contribute to the Global Biodiversity Framework

  The health of our oceans, rivers, lakes, and wetlands—and the livelihoods of millions of people worldwide—depend on well-managed fisheries and aquaculture. However, 90 percent of global fisheries have reached their maximum sustainable levels, and the rapid expansion of poorly located and managed aquaculture projects has worsened impacts on marine and freshwater ecosystems. By applying science-based management approaches, leveraging market power, and engaging communities and governments, panelists will discuss how we can not only preserve what remains but also restore what has been lost.

  This session is a call to action, emphasizing how and why governments should consider aquatic food systems as a crucial pathway to achieving their national biodiversity strategies and action plans.

• 16:30-17:50 - #5697: Scaling up nature positive investment in Asia and the Pacific

  #5697: Scaling up nature positive investment in Asia and the Pacific
  
  Finance for nature continues to be significantly below what is required to bend the curve and restore biodiversity at scale.  On Finance Day at COP16 this session will look to explore progress in implementation of Goal D and Target 19 of the Kunming – Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework for mobilizing finance for nature and particularly the role of partnerships in scaling the work among multilateral and bilateral agencies, foundations, and civil society organizations. 
  
  At the event, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) will launch the first bank's Nature and Biodiversity Bond, a thematic bond focusing on Nature based Solutions.   Building on the experiences of Green and Blue Bonds, the Nature and Biodiversity Bond will mobilize private capital for investment projects related to nature conservation and mainstreaming biodiversity in production sectors. 
  
  The event will also include a panel discussion among different partners, including speakers from AFD, GEF and TNC.  They will inform on variety of different innovative financing mechanisms and share successes and challenges to mobilize both public and private finance for nature. Developing countries continue to struggle to find financial resources to support biodiversity focused initiatives even when there is clear evidence that investing in nature can deliver for climate and livelihoods. This session will therefore look to examine new and innovative financing mechanisms and grant resources that can be accessed by the countries, such as the Nature Solutions Finance Hub that was launched by ADB with partners and aims to mobilize USD 5 billion by 2030 to reduce the financial gap for biodiversity. Experiences at the country level will also be shared, including by the government of China and the Philippines to provide their perspectives on the challenges and opportunities, and what can be done further to fill the funding gap. GBF Target (s) This event is specifically focused on Goal D and Target 19 of the GBF on scaling up nature positive finance. The session will also look to cover Target 18 on incentives and subsidies for activities harmful to biodiversity and Targets 14 and 15 on policies, regulations, planning and disclosure are also relevant to this event. Target Audience This side event as proposed on the Finance Day at COP16 and will contribute to the discussion and explore this topic in detail. It is critical that there is strong engagement with the finance sector to address the continuing biodiversity loss. The event will be of value to Parties, international organizations, civil society the private sector, particularly other financial institutions. Participants will learn about the overall situation analysis with respect to funding for nature and will then be given some examples of the innovative finance mechanisms that have been deployed to date and the opportunities that may be available to tap into these.

  #6149 Innovative Finance for Climate and Biodiversity Goals: developing long-term solutions to bridge the financial gap
  
  

  Around the world, national governments are committed to conservation and climate action, but many simply do not have the money to develop plans and put them into action. Some 60% of low-income nations – many of whom are the most vulnerable to climate change and biodiversity loss – are at risk of or in debt distress, limiting their ability to protect their environment and enhance their resilience. But there are solutions. This event will highlight some innovative and scalable mechanisms, including the Project Finance for Permanence model and The Nature Conservancy’s Nature Bonds projects, both of which help fund conservation and climate action at scale and close the climate and biodiversity funding gap.

   

  This event will showcase concrete examples from nations including Colombia, Belize and Gabon, and feature experiences from key financial partners (such as multilateral development banks and international organizations). Panelists will explore how the approaches and mechanisms support countries in developing a unified portfolio of innovative solutions that will provide sufficient, stable, and long-term finance and outcomes for climate and biodiversity.

  #6492 High-level dialogue: Mainstreaming biodiversity within and across sectors to halt and reverse biodiversity loss by 2030
  
  The Conference of Parties to the CBD has adopted several important decisions on mainstreaming, or integrating biodiversity considerations, into a variety of sectors whose actions have measurable impacts on biodiversity.

   

  Parties recognized within the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework that ambitious and transformative actions to mainstream biodiversity within and across sectors are required to achieve the mission to halt and reverse biodiversity loss by 2030.  At COP16, Parties are expected to discuss the future of the work on mainstreaming within the Convention.

  The proposed high level side event aims to bring together ministers and high-level representatives to elevate visibility and political awareness on mainstreaming and create a space for parties to share their vision, commitments and actions to mainstream biodiversity within and across key sectors, including food and agriculture, health, energy and fisheries, and, potentially, converge on joint collective actions.
  

   

  Ministers and high level representatives from various sectors will be encouraged to participate and to share their experiences, successes and challenges met in implementing the mainstreaming related elements of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, notably in setting national targets and developing NBSAPs, and identify needs and opportunities for collective future work.
