Nature Finance at COP17
Nature Finance in the Netherlands Pavilion
As preparations for COP17 in Yerevan, Armenia, continue, the Dutch government is developing a strong nature finance programme within the Netherlands Pavilion. The Pavilion will serve as a platform for knowledge exchange, co-creation, and collaboration between governments, businesses, knowledge institutions, NGOs, and international stakeholders.
Are you working on an inspiring project or initiative you would like to showcase, or planning to launch a new initiative or commitment at COP17? You are invited to propose a session at the Netherlands Pavilion. Sessions should contribute to a long-term vision for biodiversity protection or restoration and generate meaningful impact beyond COP.
We look forward to engaging with organisations and partners as preparations for COP17 progress.
