Mobilising More for Climate
Impact on people
Between 2020 and 2024, MoMo4C reached 157,325 people. These are individuals who have adopted climate-resilient and biodiversity-friendly practices, or experienced improvements in their livelihoods. This occurred at multiple levels - among staff, direct beneficiaries and within landscapes - strengthening both communities and ecosystems.
Sustainable land management
Through MoMo4C, a total of 148,716 hectares of land are now under sustainable management. These areas are managed using climate-smart, sustainable, or biodiversity-friendly practices, ensuring that land and resources are used responsibly. This number reflects hectares at both the business case (direct) and landscape level (area of influence).
Mobilising finance
From 2020 to 2024, MoMo4C mobilised €19.5 million in additional finance to support climate and nature-based initiatives. This came in the form of loans, grants, and offtake agreements, which helped business cases expand and strengthen their impact. Private finance accounted for €13 million, with €6.5 million coming from public and philanthropic sources.
Where we work
Restoring Nature Through Beekeeping in Uganda
The natural landscape of Murchison, Uganda, is a biodiverse region with lakes, rivers, and a variety of ecosystems. However, this area faces increasing threats from rapid deforestation driven by agriculture and oil and gas exploitation.
ECOTRUST Uganda is working to restore these natural treasures while promoting green business initiatives, such as the Alimugonza Beekeeping Centre of Excellence. This thriving community centre combines honey production, knowledge-sharing, and sustainable practices that support both people and nature.
Protecting Zambia’s Biodiversity Through Sustainable Business
Zambia is home to vast natural wealth and critical conservation areas, with significant populations of large mammals Around 42% of the country’s land is designated as protected areas.
WWF NL and WWF Zambia are developing business cases that strengthen biodiversity conservation through sustainable practices. Examples include transforming agricultural waste into eco-friendly energy, producing valuable food products from native wild fruits, and expanding organic honey production.
Diversifying Indonesian Rubber Forests for a Climate-Resilient Future
The Ketapang–Kayong Utara landscape in West Kalimantan, Indonesia, is a heavily deforested area containing crucial remaining primary forests and extensive peatlands vital for climate stability.
Deforestation from rubber and palm oil expansion has deeply affected this region. Here, we work with rubber farmers to diversify their agroforestry systems, introducing coffee, fruits, and vegetables alongside rubber trees. These efforts are helping to create a biodiverse, productive, and climate-resilient landscape.

MoMo4C highlights from Tropenbos Ghana
For the past five years, the MoMo4C has been a driving force for sustainable development in the Juabeso-Bia and Sefwi Wiawso Landscape in Ghana. Through collaboration with different stakeholders, Tropenbos Ghana has pioneered innovative finance solutions using the landscape approach, creating real impact on the ground. One of the key achievements has been the establishment of 33 Village Savings and Loans Associations (VSLAs) across 36 communities.
About
Mobilising More for Climate (MoMo4C) is a five-year programme led by IUCN Netherlands, WWF Netherlands, and Tropenbos International, funded by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs with a total budget of €8 million. The programme brings together entrepreneurs, companies, policymakers, investors, civil society organisations, and local communities to develop and implement green business propositions that address the causes and impacts of climate change at the landscape level in developing countries.
Over the course of the programme, MoMo4C has supported a wide range of locally driven initiatives, from sustainable cocoa and agroforestry ventures to community-led restoration and water-smart agriculture. These efforts have mobilised additional funding, strengthened local capacities, and fostered inclusive partnerships that contribute to healthier, more resilient landscapes in Cameroon, Ghana, Indonesia, Uganda, and Zambia. The programme has shown that investing in nature-based solutions can deliver tangible benefits for both people and the planet.
As MoMo4C comes to a close at the end of 2025, the need for this kind of work remains as urgent as ever. The partnerships, approaches, and lessons developed through MoMo4C offer a strong foundation for future efforts to scale up climate action and landscape restoration in vulnerable regions.
