IFAD Strategy on Biodiversity 2022-2025

The purpose of this strategy is to facilitate a more systematic, organized and generalized integration of the protection, sustainable use and promotion of biodiversity in IFAD operations.

This builds on and complements the IFAD Strategy and Action Plan on Environment and Climate Change 2019–2025, and also responds to IFAD’s commitments under the Twelfth Replenishment of IFAD’s Resources. The biodiversity strategy covers the period 2022–2025 to align with IFAD’s environment and climate change strategy, into which biodiversity will be integrated after 2025.

While the strategy aims to be accessible to a range of IFAD stakeholders, its main audience and expected users include IFAD country partners, IFAD Management, technical and operational staff, and IFAD Board members and partners, including other United Nations agencies especially the Rome-based agencies, multilateral financial institutions, global funds, donors, research institutions, civil society organizations and private sector collaborators.
