ONLINE COURSE: Financing Conservation 🌿

[Emily Uhrig]

Learn online from anywhere with internet access! Early bird discount ($75) available until June 7.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Our planet, including our atmosphere, forests, water, and other living entities, are fundamental to human survival. Yet these services have been vastly undervalued and under-resourced. Studies estimate a US$900 billion gap in annual funding needed for conservation critical to maintaining biodiversity and climate outcomes. The field of conservation finance aims to address this massive financing gap as well as the multitude of ways global markets and policies shortchange nature. Conservation finance umbrellas a variety of concepts, including (but not limited to) payments for ecosystem services, nature-based solutions, and environmental markets. In this course, we will focus on key concepts, tools, and challenges in this space. The course will be multidisciplinary, much like the field itself, which reaches across the intersections of ecology, economics, policy, finance, and human rights.
