Assessment to develop debt for nature and climate swaps and other innovative instruments to finance forest landscape restoration and conservation in the SICA region

Objectives: The objectives of this assignment are to conduct a comprehensive assessment study on the feasibility and potential of debt financing mechanisms like debt for nature and climate swaps, forest bonds, nature performance bonds, and carbon and biodiversity credits in the eight countries of the SICA region. These instruments aim to finance forest ecosystem conservation, restoration, and sustainable management, achieving adaptation, mitigation, and biodiversity goals. Also, develop detailed actionable roadmaps for the design and implementation of these instruments tailored to each country's macroeconomic and environmental contexts.
