The Biodiversity Foundation of the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge and the Spanish Association of Foundations (AEF) have signed a collaboration agreement to mobilise the foundation sector in Spain in the face of the challenges posed by the loss of nature, in a context of climate change.

This agreement is signed within the framework of the Spanish Business and Biodiversity Initiative, led by the Biodiversity Foundation, and to which the AEF has joined as a strategic partner. This adhesion is proposed with the aim of strengthening the role of foundations in the face of the challenges posed by the increasing degradation of nature. This alliance will make it possible to integrate the vision of natural capital conservation into Climate Foundations, an initiative led by the AEF that already mobilises more than 300 entities in the face of the climate emergency and in which Fundación Biodiversidad has been participating since 2023.

Based on the premise that protecting and restoring nature is one of the most effective strategies for mitigating global warming, adapting to the consequences of climate change and safeguarding vital infrastructure, supplies and, especially, the most vulnerable communities, both entities will work to generate spaces for dialogue and listening where knowledge can be shared and the foundational investment in nature-based solutions

This collaboration will reinforce AEF’s commitment to nature, promoting a vision where climate action and biodiversity conservation converge to move towards a just ecological transition.
