Aligning Financial Flows with the Global Biodiversity Framework: Translating Ambition into Implementation

Produced in collaboration with leading financial institutions, this paper outlines key steps governments can take to align financial flows with the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF).

The role of the private sector in addressing biodiversity loss must be clearly articulated in National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs), which countries must submit before COP16, and in National Biodiversity Financing Plans (NBSAPs).

The document, prepared by the Finance for Biodiversity Foundation's "Public Policy Advocacy" working group, offers four recommendations, thirteen actions and concrete global examples of successful implementation, focusing on MGB Targets 14, 15, 18 and 19.

The aim is to empower governments and policymakers to drive meaningful change and create an enabling environment for financial institutions, in line with the mission to halt and reverse biodiversity loss by 2030.
