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 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 data in each of the Dashboards is correct at the date of publication.
The new and updated Biodiversity Finance Trends Dashboard presents the latest available data on progress towards Target 15, 18 and 19 of the KMGBF, acknowledging that international and national metrics to track biodiversity finance are still being developed and there are some delays in data collection.
Biodiversity Finance Trends Dashboards
The 2026 Biodiversity Finance Trends Dashboard is published to coincide with the UN CBD COP17 in Yerevan, Armenia, providing an update on the current trends in biodiversity finance from all sources to implement the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. The data is correct at the time of publishing on 19th October, the opening day of COP17.
