Successfully countered attempts to zero-out funding for the Global Environment Facility in both the House and the Senate.

Reduced deforestation and forest conservation included in the UN Climate Convention’s “Bali Action Plan”.

REDD technical negotiations agreed to consider both project-level and national-level activities, and the role of carbon stocks.

FY08 Achievements

FY09 Plan

Outcome 1: Global and regional/national policies include appropriate rules and incentives for protecting and restoring ecosystems essential for biodiversity and human well-being

Outcome 2: Existing and new international public funding mechanisms prioritize biodiversity conservation in hotspots, HBWAs, and in bio-diverse and threatened seascapes

Outcome 3: Robust standards and tools are adopted by the global community that prioritize biodiversity conservation across a variety of sectors (fisheries, trade, infrastructure, extractive industry, climate, water, biofuels, etc)

FY09 Plan

Outcome 4: Existing and new public funding sources are being captured to contribute to the Future for Life Campaign goal ($300 Million)

Outcome 5: Global and national policies, market and public funding mechanisms, global standards/tools that prioritize biodiversity conservation also take into account the rights, roles, and priorities of indigenous peoples and local communities and ensure equitable sharing of benefits and costs

Outcome 6: CI's strategies and partnerships for conservation action include the effective participation of indigenous peoples and local communities in decision-making and implementation

Outcome 7: CI’s strategy in Japan revised and launched as follow up to April 2008 PMG assessment. It includes expansion of climate change work, scaling up private sector partnerships, developing new public funding, kicking off Japan Hotspot initiative, and focusing all efforts towards 2010 CBD-COP10 in Nagoya.

CCG’s International Policy Division

Provides leadership and coordination of CI’s international policy engagement.

Principal Functions: Influence political leaders; Participate in diverse and influential coalitions; Integrate biodiversity conservation into international

economic/development policy; Increased funding for biodiversity conservation; Identify innovative and new fundraising opportunities.

CCG’s International Policy Division

Issue: With the current staff capacity of 3 FTE, CCG’s International Policy Division

cannot effectively influence several of the major policy priorities of CI, particularly in the climate change arena. CI has the most practical experience in forest carbon mitigation and marine adaptation.

On the adaptation side, CCG needs to promote ecosystem services as a viable adaptation response as many of the key funding programs and priorities begin to be defined

Over the next few years, the WB multi-billion dollar climate funds, EU carbon markets, and others.

Additional Needs: 1 FTE Director for Climate Mitigation, focus on forests and biofuels (UNFCCC,

Climate Action Network) .5 FTE Manager for Climate Adaptation, shared with ITPI focus on ecosystem

based adaptation measures and funding .5 FTE Coordinator for Policy shared with USG policy – currently no designated

administrative support staff for policy program

CCG’s USG Affairs Program

Principal Functions:

CCG’s USG Affairs Program engages, educates and aids U.S. policy makers to address threats to biodiversity.

CCG’s USG Affairs Program

Issue: Need to increase our staff to maximize our leverage points and capitalize on

the wealth of opportunities with the USG. This need has increased exponentially in recent months as climate change takes center stage and as we look towards a new Administration and a new Congress.

Additional Needs:

1 FTE Director for US Congressional Relations to focus on the U.S. government, increase CI’s capacity to build relationships and share our science-based, solution-oriented approaches to conservation with the Administration.

1 FTE Senior Manager to focus on the evolution of U.S. climate change legislation – both regard to forest carbon and adaptation activities. This person will need to also focus on biofuels, broader energy and farm bill policies that impact climate change provisions as well as international conservation priorities.

.5 FTE Coordinator for Policy shared with the International policy team for support with administrative aspects.

CCG’s Public Funding Division

Assist CI’s field programs with identifying new sources of funding and accessing bilateral and multilateral funds through proposal review, reporting and information sharing

Principal Functions: increase the capacity in field programs through training on

multilateral and bilateral institutions and proposal writing maintain the network and contacts with existing public donors explore new relationships with public funding entities

CCG’s Public Funding Division

Issue: With the current staff capacity CCG’s Public Funding cannot accommodate all the programs needs in terms of access to public funds, has not the capacity to review all proposals, lacks capacity to develop relationships with major actors (WB, GEF, Asian Development Bank, African Development Bank, Inter-American Development Bank) and is not working on building the fundraising capacity of field programs.

Additional Needs: 1 FTE Director for multilateral relations 1 FTE Senior Manager Proposal Development 1 FTE Senior Manager, capacity building, communication and proposal

development

CI-Japan

Mobilize financial, policy, and moral support from Japan for CI’s global conservation efforts

Principal Functions: Influence Japanese government policies on ODA, climate change and carbon

markets, and conservation Raise funding for CI programs through private sector partnerships and public

funding Influence Japanese corporations on their business strategies and practices Raise public awareness on global biodiversity conservation and CI Develop and strengthen networks amongst conservation groups in Japan

CI-Japan

Issue: Need to strengthen capacity for operational management, i.e. finance, HR, and IT in order to meet CI internal reporting requirements, as well as to prepare for legal registration.

CI-Japan needs to expand office space in order to accommodate this minimum addition and foreseeable expansion in near future.

Additional Needs: 1 FTE Accountant currently working only part-time.

CCG’s Indigenous and Traditional Peoples Initiative


CCG’s ITPI provides institution-wide leadership and coordination on CI’s policy, collaboration, interaction and fundraising with indigenous people and conservation efforts.

CCG’s Indigenous and Traditional Peoples Initiative

Issue: With the current staff capacity ITPI cannot effectively influence new priorities such as climate change and growing policy needs with respect to

indigenous people.

Additional Needs: 0.5 FTE Manager, Climate Change Adaptation Policy focusing on indigenous issues

– position reports to International Policy, as well.

CCG Network


Coordinates all activities of CCG, provides a financial and administrative support to CCG network and prospect new policy and public funding opportunities.

CCG Network

Issue: In order to increase the influence of CI in key policy issues and engage with additional European partners, it is proposed to establish a physical presence in Europe.

Additional Needs: 1 FTE Director Europe as there is currently no staff presence in Europe. 1 FTE Support Staff Europe 1 FTE Senior Manager, International Policy Events
