BIODIVERSITY FINANCE - NRE

Solution 4: Finance mechanisms
Donors not ready to give adequate/more
funding for biodiversity management without
proper knowledge of the funding gap
Governments, especially in
developing countries, lack capacity
and resources to respond to
biodiversity needs and monitor the
activities under implementation
Information lacking or
insufficient on the financing
gap (current expenditures,
their (cost-) effectiveness, and
the expenditures needed)
Biodiversity and ecosystem
services are not adequately
protected and maintained
4. FINANCE MECHANISMS
Identify, access, combine and
sequence additional financing
to justify and secure
adequate/ increased funding
by government and donors
3. FINANCE GAP
Develop and test
methodologies to determine
the funding gap: current
spending, (cost-)
effectiveness, needs
Insufficient funding for
biodiversity conservation
and management
measures, both nationally
and globally
Severe impact of proximate
drivers of biodiversity loss
(habitat loss, overexploitation,
IAS, pollution,
climate change)
Biodiversity is not valued by and
integrated into national and sectoral
planning and measures (ultimate
drivers), and governance mechanisms
are weak
2. MAINSTREAMING
Apply methodologies at national level in
order to enhance mainstreaming of
biodiversity into national and sectoral
planning and enhance governance
Comprehensive quantitative information on the values of
biodiversity and ecosystem services, especially the economic value,
is missing or incomplete
1. VALUATION
Apply economic valuation methodologies
at national level to increase and
disseminate the knowledge base on the
economic value of biodiversity and
ecosystem services
