Mission

Major Activities

Activity 2

Ecosystem finance + markets: ci's ecosystem finance division offers financial mechanisms to support field-level conservation and ensure economic benefits to local communities. We create alliances with large-scale donors and corporations to make entrepreneurship a tool in building the conservation strategies of tomorrow. We pioneer ways for indigenous groups and other local communities in developing countries to directly benefit from the stewardship of nature's gifts. Ecosystem finance + markets also include the center for environmental leadership in business (celb), which engages with corporations to minimize environmental impacts and to harness private sector ingenuity on behalf (see schedule o)of healthy ecosystems and human well-being. Celb is a catalyst for innovation, convening corporate and environmental leaders to break new ground in the development of green business models and global commitments to healthy ecosystems and sustainable growth, concentrating on opportunities to transform markets, ensure sustainable supply chains, and accelerate protections of critical ecosystems. During the year, ecosystem finance + markets awarded over $11.3 million in external grants to partnership organizations.

Activity 3

Science + knowledge: science is the cornerstone of everything we do. It helps us identify where to work and where every dollar spent will have the maximum impact. Using cutting-edge capabilities, we examine today's most critical environmental challenges to understanding and quantify the contribution of nature to human well-being. Combining on-the-ground experience with thoughtful studies, we project impacts of global change on natural systems, develop green economy options and support ci programs globally with applied science and capacity building. During the year science + knowledge published 86 scientific articles and books.
