Harnessing investments in multifunctional landscapes to deliver on the Rio Conventions

The CGIAR science program on multifunctional landscapes integrates the three Rio Conventions with climate action, biodiversity and ecosystem gains and land degradation neutrality from source to sea. This session will show how thriving multifunctional landscapes are critical to deliver on the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). Three speakers will elaborate on how to bridge current financing gaps to support multifunctional landscape research to effectively implement the GBF. We will wrap up the session with the perspectives of farmer organizations, youth and Indigenous Peoples, with a particular focus on balancing access to finance for actions for resource-constrained actors and communities.
