FINANCE TRENDS
Closing the biodiversity finance gap this decade
The Biodiversity Finance Trends Dashboard presents current trends in international biodiversity financial flows, tracking progress across the finance targets of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF).
The Dashboard uses the latest available data on progress against the finance targets of the KMGBF. It is intended to draw attention to the urgent need to mobilise increased finance for nature from all sources, and to close the $700bn annual biodiversity funding gap mapped out in the KMGBF.
Originally launched at UNFCCC COP28 in 2023, the first Biodiversity Finance Trends Dashboard was presented at a COP28 stocktake event to mark one year since CBD COP15 and the KMGBF agreement. The Dashboard has been updated annually to present the latest available data on biodiversity finance.
The new and updated Biodiversity Finance Trends Dashboard includes new indicators to monitor progress, and a new sub-section on synergies with climate finance to reflect the importance of synergistic action at COP30.
The Dashboard uses the best available data sets to provide an overview for current biodiversity finance trends, acknowledging that international and national metrics to track biodiversity finance are still being developed.
Biodiversity Dashboards
The 2025 Biodiversity Finance Trends dashboard is published to coincide with the UNFCCC COP30 in Belem, Brazil, providing an update on the current trends in biodiversity finance from all sources to implement the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and to highlight the importance of building synergies across climate and nature finance and action. Some data remains preliminary pending final approval.
