This session explores how to unlock finance, investment and sustainable livelihoods in rangeland and pastoralist economies by aligning financial approaches with pastoral systems and realities. This includes adapting investment frameworks to reflect seasonal dynamics, communal tenure systems and long-term stewardship practices.

Bringing together investors, policymakers and pastoralist representatives, the session highlights how capital can support resilient livelihoods, ecosystem restoration and climate and biodiversity outcomes, while respecting local governance systems and rights. The discussion also features practical pathways to mobilize public, private and blended finance and de-risking strategies to increase confidence between investors, project developers and pastoralist communities.
