Description
1) Objective
The Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF) is a joint initiative of l’Agence française de développement, Conservation International, the European Union, Fondation Hans Wilsdorf, the Global Environment Facility, the Government of Japan and the World Bank. A fundamental goal is to ensure civil society is engaged in biodiversity conservation.
The Mediterranean Basin Biodiversity Hotspot is the second largest hotspot in the world and the largest of the world’s five Mediterranean-climate regions. CEPF’s investment strategy was updated in 2024. The resulting investment strategy (2025-2030) is documented within the ecosystem profile. This investment strategy is comprised of a series of strategic directions, broken down into investment priorities outlining the types of activities that are eligible for CEPF funding.
