Obtaining long-term investment capital

Description

Obtaining long-term investment capital involves securing stable financial resources to support sustained development, innovation, or expansion. This strategy focuses on attracting funds from institutional investors, public offerings, or private placements, ensuring reliable financing beyond short-term needs. Its practical intent is to remedy constraints caused by insufficient or volatile funding, enabling organizations or projects to plan, grow, and operate effectively over extended periods, while mitigating risks associated with short-term capital shortages or market fluctuations.

Implementation

This strategy features in the framework of Agenda 21 as formulated at UNCED (Rio de Janeiro, 1992), now coordinated by the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development and implemented through national and local authorities.

Agenda 21 recommends that governments at the appropriate level, with the support of the relevant international and regional organizations, should establish national policies to provide legal status for and strengthen legal aspects of plant genetic resources for agriculture (PGRFA), including long-term financial commitments for germplasm collections and implementation of activities in PGRFA.
