Summer 2020: Emerging market debt crisis: biodiversity as a lever for building back better

Very proud to be working with the MAVA Foundation and Finance for Biodiversity to move the needle on sovereign debt restructuring that accounts for nature, conservation and biodiversity issues. The landmark paper published jointly with Oliver Withers is available here: https://a1be08a4-d8fb-4c22-9e4a-2b2f4cb7e41d.filesusr.com/ugd/643e85_8198fe32b44f410ea21e488cc5dfaa2d.pdf This technical paper is part of a series looking at climate change and biodiversity considerations in economic responses to COVID-19. Other notes look at bailout measures, a green stimulus index, and labour market reforms. This paper may be updated as circumstances develop. The paper has been authored by Tenke Zoltani, and Oliver Withers, on behalf of the Finance for Biodiversity Initiative and funded by the MAVA Foundation.
