Caribbean Biodiversity Fund Board of Directors 2026: Call for Expressions of Interest and Nominations

Overview

The Caribbean Biodiversity Fund (CBF) is inviting expressions of interest and nominations from suitably qualified individuals for vacant seats on its skills-based Board of Directors. The CBF is a regional environmental fund set up to provide stable, long-term financing for conservation, ecosystem-based adaptation and biodiversity protection across the Caribbean. Its Governance Committee has opened the call. Because the Fund manages resources for environmental purposes, sound governance and oversight are considered essential.

Appointments run for a maximum of two years, with a proposed start date of 1 October 2026.

What the role involves

Directors help shape the strategic direction of the Fund and contribute to robust fiduciary oversight, objective governance and strategic impact. Board service also offers a chance to support regional conservation and to engage with partners in conservation and sustainable development. Directors may represent the CBF at regional and international meetings, convenings and other strategic engagements, which may involve travel where appropriate.

What you get

Board service is voluntary and carries no remuneration, so directors receive no salary or regular payment.

Who can apply

The Fund seeks individuals with interest and experience in conservation, biodiversity protection, sustainable development and regional environmental governance. The announcement says the Board is skills-based, meaning knowledge, experience and professional capabilities guide selection. It does not set out detailed educational qualifications, years of experience, specific disciplines or technical skills.

Requirements

The announcement does not state a nationality restriction or list eligible countries, although the Fund and the opportunity are connected to the Caribbean. Applicants should consult the official application materials and nomination process for any additional geographic or eligibility conditions.

Key dates

Expressions of interest and nominations must be submitted by 7 September 2026. The proposed term begins on 1 October 2026 and lasts up to two years.
