Abstract/Description
CCAFS and CIAT, with support from USAID and together with Mirova NaturalCapital, successfully co-designed, developed and participated as a cornerstone investor for the Amazon Biodiversity Fund for Brazil. This fund is an impact investment fund targetting USD 100 million of investment which is focused on reducing deforestation, reducing emissions, building resilient livelihoods and protecting critical biodiversity.
CCAFS/CIAT acts as a cornerstone investor and sits on the advisory board. Initial investments are already being made with sustainable businesses in the Brazilian Amazon.
