"Accelerating Biodiversity Conservation in the Peruvian Amazon: Innovative and Inclusive Financial Mechanisms for Peru (ABCPA)" is a 25-month technical assistance program that GGGI is implementing for the Peruvian government in partnership with the Ministry of Environment (MINAM), Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), and other pertinent public entities, including the National Park Services, National Forest and Wildlife Service (SERNANP), and Ministry of Women and Vulnerable Populations (MIMP). The program -which is supported by the Amazon Regional Fund (ARF), an arm of the UK's Partnering for Accelerated Climate Transitions (UK PACT) initiative, which is a part of the UK's International Climate Finance (ICF)



portfolio- aims to play a key role in implementing the nation's National Strategy for Biological Diversity (NBSAP), which outlines strategic measures and actions to accelerate the implementation of international environmental finance, biodiversity finance frameworks, and private sector investments in biodiversity projects and initiatives in Peru.

CONTEXT

The project addresses critical barriers to biodiversity conservation in Peru by establishing the financial and institutional frameworks and conditions necessary for the sustainable management of the country’s biodiversity. Peru's biodiversity is under significant threat due to a lack of cohesive financial mechanisms and frameworks for effective biodiversity conservation. To overcome these challenges, the project aims to strengthen the alignment between Peru’s financial architecture and the country’s biodiversity needs by designing and implementing innovative and inclusive financial mechanisms, such as biodiversity bonds, and habitat banks.





The project also addresses the inequitable access to financial resources and decision-making among vulnerable populations; by fostering a paradigm shift that recognizes including women, indigenous communities, and rural populations as key stewards of ecosystems and ensures they are fairly compensated for their conservation efforts.
