This is a study commissioned by USAID Regional Development Mission for Asia (RDMA) to provide an overview of conservation finance markets in Asia. The study aimed to
identify key investors in this space and high potential green investments in the Asia region that achieve both financial and environmental returns as well as USAID ASIA’s partnership opportunities with other donors and corporate and financial investors experienced in conservation finance to facilitate new green investments while avoiding or reducing GHG emissions, particularly concerning land‐based low emissions development, which faces difficulties stemming from land tenure, financial accountability, and transparency in reporting and metrics.
