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.

How to access the HAC 30x30 Matchmaking Platform?

How does it works?

The HAC 30×30 Matchmaking Platform helps countries seeking support connect directly with partners able to provide technical or financial assistance.

HAC member countries can request access through their national N&P focal point and receive login details to enter the platform. Once inside, they can submit one or several requests for technical or financial support related to implementing Target 3. Assistance providers can also use the platform to share available expertise, funding options, or capacity-building offers relevant to 30×30.

All submissions are reviewed by the HAC team, who help identify suitable partners and facilitate the connection process. The video below provides a step-by-step explanation of how to submit a request or offer through the platform and how the matching process works.

If your country is not yet a HAC member, you can learn how to join below.

How does it work?

 

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.

Rapid Deployment Mechanism (RDM)

Welcome to the High Ambition Coalition for Nature and People’s Rapid Deployment Mechanism (RDM).
Rapid Deployment Mechanism

About the RDM

The Rapid Deployment Mechanism (RDM) is a small grant fund created to assist developing member countries of the High Ambition Coalition for Nature and People advance their 30×30 goals.

The mechanism was launched following the High Ambition Coalition for Nature and People’s win in the “Revive Our Oceans” category of the Earthshot Prize in 2024. The RDM provides seed funding to accelerate the development and implementation of 30×30.

Objectives of the RDM

The Rapid Deployment Mechanism (RDM) addresses the need for funding that catalyzes small-scale financing for bigger impact. By providing fast, flexible seed funding, the RDM bridges the gap between early-stage requirements and larger funding sources, helping countries accelerate actions on 30×30. The RDM has been created for HAC for N&P developing countries.

The application period for the 2026 cycle is not yet open.
