LAND USE FINANCE IMPACT HUB

We work with a community of practice comprising of representatives across the land use finance space, listening to their needs and incorporating them into the development of products to help accelerate movement of financing to sustainable practices. As neutral actors, UNEP and UNEP-WCMC are able to provide guidance and tools that harmonise the existing thinking across many blended finance funds and impact investing facilities. We hope by sharing these resources, we can streamline existing efforts of financial institutions who are addressing similar issues as they develop environmental and social frameworks for sustainable land use investing... The Environmental and Social Knowledge Exchange Network (ESKEN) is a Community of Practice for those involved in the environmental and social aspects of sustainable land use. The community comprises representatives of facilities and funds, service providers, commercial banks, environmental experts and impact advisors. We have a LinkedIn group..
