Conservation Trust Funds (CTFs) based in Small Island Developing States (SIDS) provide long-term, locally governed finance for marine protection and climate resilience. They translate blended finance into on-the-ground action, expand access to capital for small jurisdictions, and pilot innovative revenue models that donors and partners should prioritise.
This is the story of why GLISPA has decided to launch a new Community of Practice to bolster the impact of these unique institutions; that are integral to SIDS conservation efforts and by extension, achieving the Global Biodiversity target of 30x30.
