PROJECT: Debt swaps for climate and nature outcomes in West Africa

[Anne Schulthess]

We urgently need to address the triple crisis of debt distress, biodiversity loss and climate change. This project will scope how this could be done through debt swaps for nature and climate outcomes in four countries in coastal West Africa.

IIED will work with governments and civil society in Cabo Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mauritania and Senegal and with public and private international creditors. The aim will be to scope and design debt swaps to agree debt reduction or relief in exchange for a commitment to positive nature and climate targets.
