On the 2nd of December 2025 we celebrated 6 years of Mobilising More for Climate (MoMo4C)<\/a>. During the event, we closed the current chapter on MoMo4C, celebrated our achievements, shared insights, and looked to the future. Because even though the programme is coming to an end, our impact does not stop here. The partnerships, approaches, and lessons developed through MoMo4C offer a strong foundation for future efforts to scale up climate action and landscape restoration in vulnerable regions. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

Over the course of the programme (2019-2025), MoMo4C has supported a wide range of locally driven initiatives, from sustainable cocoa and agroforestry ventures to community-led restoration and water-smart agriculture, with a special focus on women. These efforts have mobilised additional funding, strengthened local capacities, and fostered inclusive partnerships that contribute to healthier, more resilient landscapes in Cameroon<\/a>, Ghana (the Mole Ecological landscape<\/a> and the Juabeso-Bia & Sefwi Wiawso landscape<\/a>), Indonesia<\/a>, Uganda<\/a>, and Zambia<\/a>. The programme has shown that investing in nature-based solutions can deliver tangible benefits for both people and the planet. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The deal book<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n

As previously indicated, our impact does not end after this event. We also created a deal book with investment opportunities in the landscapes. This MoMo4C deal book highlights two-dozen more business cases that are still looking for finance or are close to attracting an investor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

Closing event<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n

The MoMo4C landscape approach, with its focus on creating the right enabling environment for climate and biodiversity finance, proved successful. Landscape speakers, Pauline Nantongo Kalunda, Mercy Owusu Ansah, and Sophia Mutalani Mulundika, shared stories about the challenges they faced and how MoMo4C helped the business cases succeed. Overall, it was an inspiring day, where we also explored the future of conservation finance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Mobilising finance<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

From 2020 to 2024, MoMo4C mobilised \u20ac19.5 million in additional finance to support climate and nature-based initiatives. This came in the form of loans, grants, and offtake agreements, which helped business cases expand and strengthen their impact. Private finance accounted for \u20ac13 million, with \u20ac6.5 million coming from public and philanthropic sources.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sustainable land management<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

Through MoMo4C, a total of 148,716 hectares of land are now under sustainable management. These areas are managed using climate-smart, sustainable, or biodiversity-friendly practices, ensuring that land and resources are used responsibly. This number reflects hectares at both the business case (direct) and landscape level (area of influence).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Impact on people<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

Between 2020 and 2024, MoMo4C reached 157,325 people. These are individuals who have adopted climate-resilient and biodiversity-friendly practices, or experienced improvements in their livelihoods. This occurred at multiple levels – among staff, direct beneficiaries and within landscapes – strengthening both communities and ecosystems.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
