CEO AND CHAIRPERSON, GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT FACILITY

s a Costa Rican and former minister of environment for the country, I am passionately proud of A Costa Rica’s role as a global leader in conservation and sustainable development. Our people understood early on that nature and human well-being go hand in hand—that you don't have to choose one or the other. I first heard of the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund in 2003, when I was serving as minister of environment. I was informed by Conservation International’s Costa Rica office that CEPF wanted to contribute to conserving the Mesoamerica Biodiversity Hotspot through grants to civil society, supporting projects that would help the countries of the hotspot, including Costa Rica, implement their conservation plans. And I learned that the fund’s grant-making was organized around a science- Carlos Manuel Rodriguez. based, stakeholder-driven strategy in the form of its ecosystem profile. I could see that was an innovative A Healthy Future © O. Langrand and promising approach. At that time, Costa Rica was ahead of most countries in valuing and acting on conservation, and Requires a it was one of the first countries in the developing world to have a strategy for addressing conservation gaps—areas of high biodiversity lying outside the protected-area system. Costa Rica also was unusual in that the government was already collaborating with civil society organizations to implement Biodiverse World conservation. But we were happy to gain a new partner in these pursuits. The cooperative efforts among CEPF, CEPF’s civil-society grantees and the government proved very successful, and CEPF became part of the groundbreaking effort that Costa Rica initiated to consolidate, amplify and change the economics around nature conservation. When you consider Costa Rica’s conservation success story, you need to see CEPF inside that story. It was clear to me back in the early days of my acquaintance with CEPF that other countries, Governments particularly those with less-developed conservation communities, needed such a partner. The trust can only and collaboration that CEPF nurtures between civil society and government is beneficial to all involved. And since that time, CEPF has expanded its reach, having provided US$255 million to achieve their nearly 2,500 grantees in 105 of the developing and transitional countries and territories of the world’s goals with biodiversity hotspots. Results from those grants include more than 15 million hectares of protected area, more than 50 million hectares of Key Biodiversity Areas with strengthened management, and nature—CEPF support to more than 900 species on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. can help. Now, from my view as CEO and chairperson of the Global Environment Facility (GEF)—one of CEPF’s six global donors—the need is even clearer and more urgent. This year, we may have a landmark political decision to protect 30% of the world’s oceans and land, a target that is expected to emerge from the 2021 conference of the parties of the U.N. Convention on Biological Diversity. This goal is intended to address not only the current biodiversity crisis, but also the climate crisis, as it is estimated that protecting, restoring and sustainably managing natural ecosystems could account for at least 30% of global action needed to avoid the worst climate scenarios. It also has everything to do with the global recovery from COVID-19—an extreme example of what can result from humans disrupting nature’s integrity. Achieving this worthy goal requires not just more funding, but also focus on conservation Resplendent quetzal approaches that have proven effective. We know what has worked and what has not, and based on (Pharomachrus mocinno), Costa Rica. that knowledge, we need to make strategic investments. In that context, the GEF looks at CEPF as a © O. Langrand strong partner with successful methods for empowering civil society’s contribution to conservation. While this is a time of uncertainty, loss and tremendous challenge, it also presents an opportunity for what we call a green-blue recovery—that is, one based on conserving ecosystems on land and in the oceans. Supporting grassroots conservation must be part of building back better. The GEF is ready and eager to collaborate with CEPF and other partners to help the world’s governments meet global environmental obligations and construct a stable, healthy, nature-based future for their people.

His sincere interest in making the world better, combined “with his keen understanding of finance, development and the role of civil society, set CEPF and its grantees on a path to success. We owe him a debt of gratitude for his leadership and commitment to conservation.” — Olivier Langrand CEPF’s executive director Saying goodbye to one of CEPF’s founders

Mr. Wolfensohn and Conservation Malpelo Foundation International founder and former CEO Peter Seligmann launched CEPF in 2000, James D. Sandra Bessudo, James D.

We owe him a debt of gratitude for his leadership and commitment to conservation.” Mr. Wolfensohn lived an exceptional life. From a modest upbringing in Australia, he rose to the top of international finance. He served as the president of the World Bank for 10 years, where he focused on poverty alleviation and waged a campaign against corrup- tion. He was an Olympic fencer and an accomplished cellist, and he served as an officer in the Royal Australian Air Force. As chairman for New York’s Carnegie Hall and Washington, D.C.’s Kennedy Center, he played an important role in strengthening the finances of the revered arts venues. The idea for CEPF grew out of the friendship between Mr. Wolfensohn and Mr. Selig- mann. During an interview CEPF conducted with the two men in July 2010, Mr. Seligmann said they met at a dinner hosted by actor Harrison Ford. “I was really attracted, Jim, to your personal interest and passion for doing the right thing and finding the right path, and I thought, here’s someone who I could not only be a friend with, but someone who I could really partner with.” On a subsequent fly-fishing trip in Wyoming, they formed the idea for a fund that would conserve the world’s biodiversity hotspots and strengthen civil society. They founded CEPF with US$25 million commitments each from the World Bank, Conservation International and the Global Environment Facility, and the partnership grew from there. “I knew the idea of the partnership was important because for me, it was probably the first of the new visible partnerships I had with civil society, when the bank was wholly Left: Mohamed El-Ashry distrusted by civil society, and what I was trying to do was to say that it was much better of the Global Environment if we worked together,” said Mr. Wolfensohn in the July 2010 interview.
