How to increase the mobilization of Climate Financing Instruments

Abstract

The session on Climate Financing Instruments in Mediterranean landscapes at the IV Mediterranean Forest Week attracted several participants, project partners and international donors. The discussion was inspired by several presentations focusing on the initiatives undertaken at the pilot site, national and regional level in the framework of two regional projects. They clearly showed the potential for accessing mitigation and adaptation financing mechanisms for the Mediterranean forest sector but also the complexity of the subject in the region. The discussion flagged the synergies between adaptation and mitigation in Mediterranean forests and the opportunities presented by financing mechanisms to support the sustainable management of Mediterranean forests
