The experts provide inputs on both the supply side of the GDI focusing on biodiversity-relevant certification requirements for land management and the demandside of the GDI focusing on financing opportunities from business and the market.
On the demandside, the Meeting explored three dimensions of securing additional financing for biodiversity through the GDI approach: using GDI certification within corporate biodiversity strategies and actions, bringing GDI-certified land management projects to market, and exploring the role of public funding for scaling up the GDI approach.
Germany has become a leader in solar and wind through public-private financing mechanisms to finance energy innovation as well as strong demandside policies, such as the solar feed-in tariff policy adopted by the government in 1991.
