FINANCE TRENDS
Closing the biodiversity finance gap this decade
The Biodiversity Finance Dashboard tracks current trends in international biodiversity financial flows, as well as public and private-led actions that drive the mobilisation of nature finance.
The Dashboard uses the latest data on progress against the finance targets of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (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.
Originally launched at UNFCCC COP28 in 2023, the first biodiversity finance dashboard was presented at a COP28 stocktake event to mark one year since CBD COP15 and the KMGBF agreement.
This new and updated Biodiversity Finance Dashboard, launched at CBD COP16, includes new indicators to monitor progress. It is presented in a refreshed format more closely aligned with the targets of the KMGBF, primarily Targets 15, 18, and 19 of the Framework.
While metrics to track biodiversity finance, both at national and international level, are still being developed, the Dashboard uses the best possible sources of publicly available data to provide an overview of current trends in biodiversity finance.
The 10 Point Plan for Financing Biodiversity
The Biodiversity Finance Dashboard builds on the momentum developed by the 10 Point Plan for Financing Biodiversity, a trans-continental initiative which aimed to raise the political profile of the need to finance nature.
