Mission

Major Activities

Activity 2

Ecosystem finance + markets (efm):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 becoming responsible stewards of nature's gifts. Efm also includes the center for environmental leadership in business (celb), which engages with corporations to minimize environmental impacts and to harness private sector ingenuity to promote healthy ecosystems and human well-being. (see schedule o) 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. Celb aims to transform markets, ensure sustainable supply chains and accelerate the protection of critical ecosystems. This year efm awarded $36.6 million in grants to partner organizations.
