HAC 30×30 Matchmaking Platform

Welcome to the HAC 30×30 Matchmaking Platform! Our Matchmaking service aims to connect our member countries needs with technical and financial assistance to deliver 30×30.

How does it work?

The HAC 30×30 Matchmaking Platform is our main connection tool. HAC for N&P country members are invited to login to the HAC 30×30 Matchmaking Platform, where they can submit one or several technical and financial assistance requests to implement 30×30. Assistance providers (financial institutions, NGOs, private sector, programs and initiatives, etc.) can upload available technical expertise and financial support related to 30×30.

HAC members can submit one or several requests for assistance. A template of the request form is available here. A complementary budget template is also available here to help structure financial assistance requests. In addition, assistance providers can make use of the offer template available here to share available technical expertise or financial support related to 30×30.

Each request is carefully considered by our team and matched with a relevant partner to help deliver the country’s goal.
The Matchmaking support includes one-on-one follow-up, a proactive search for a suitable assistance provider, and “deal” meetings.

30×30 Solutions Toolkit

The 30×30 Solutions Toolbox is an online resource that has been curated to provide guidance and information to help achieve Target 3 of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. This website is envisioned as a clearinghouse of accessible and meaningful resources that can be used to design, implement, and report on 30×30 strategies and action plans. The website will be regularly updated with additional tools.

The website is being supported by the High Ambition Coalition for Nature and People ,the Nature Conservancy, and IUCN’s World Commision on Protected Areas in collaboration with the International Indigenous Forum on Biodiversity (IIFB) WWF and Campaign for Nature.
