Webinar: A New Generation of Debt-for-Nature Swaps
Debt-for-nature swaps were first introduced in 1984 to reduce the debt burden of low-income countries in exchange for their commitment to environmental protection. The swaps fell out of favor--but now a new generation of swaps has emerged. Join us for a National Ecosystem Services Partnership (NESP) webinar to learn all about it from Nicholas Institute expert Elizabeth Losos.
Scaling Debt-for-Nature Swaps to Tackle Debt, Climate, and Biodiversity
Join us for coffee and a light breakfast followed by a one-hour panel discussion, moderated by executive in residence Elizabeth Losos, examining opportunities and obstacles involved in maximizing the future potential of debt-for-nature swaps. Afterward, connect with speakers and attendees at a networking reception.
