The Green Development Initiative (GDI) is an international response to the 10th Conference of the Parties of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD COP10), particularly with respect to the strategies for resource mobilisation and business engagement. It aims to establish an international green development certification scheme for land management. Such a scheme will enable land managers to be recognised for their efforts to conserve biodiversity and use biological resources sustainably and equitably. In so doing, the GDI intends to stimulate new market-based financing of conservation and development on the ground.
