Innovative finance for ecosystem-based enterprises in Viet Nam

Rapid economic growth in Viet Nam has come at the cost of severe environmental degradation, resulting in biodiversity loss, pollution and climate vulnerability. This programme supports the scale-up of locally led ecosystem restoration by developing ecosystem-based enterprises (EBEs), led by women and young people, in peri-urban wetland and coastal mangrove areas. 

Through participatory action research, the programme will test finance and incubation models to support sustainable livelihoods that protect nature. Findings will also inform local and national policy frameworks.
