Developing blue and green financing for climate action

Context

The Falkland Islands have ecosystems with high carbon sequestration potential, notably peat bogs and kelp forests. These natural resources represent a strategic lever in the context of the development of international climate finance mechanisms.
Stakes and objectives

Identify innovative financing mechanisms to support ecosystem protection, climate resilience and economic diversification.
Stakeholders

Falkland Islands Government, environmental services, carbon finance experts.

Facility description

The Facility analyzes the potential of blue and green finance mechanisms, including voluntary carbon markets. Carbon storage capacities are assessed, and technical and regulatory requirements are examined.

Scenarios are developed to estimate potential economic benefits and define the steps needed to structure projects in line with international standards.

Deliverables
- Assessment of carbon sequestration potential
- Analysis of applicable blue and green finance mechanisms
- Identification of technical and regulatory requirements
- Economic valuation scenarios
- Recommendations for structuring pilot projects
