BIOFIN – Overview & Objectives

• Conceived in response to CBD COP-10 (SP 2011-2020 & SRM)

2015/2016.

• Overarching objectives :

• Supports compliance with CBD reporting requirements

• Transform national-level enabling environment for countries to better

develop and access domestic and international biodiversity finance

2015/2016.

• Overarching objectives :

• Supports compliance with CBD reporting requirements

• Transform national-level enabling environment for countries to better

develop and access domestic and international biodiversity finance

• Builds on and retro-feeds with NBSAPs

BIOFIN – Spin Offs

• Further strengthen biodiversity expenditure accounting in UN-SEEA Central

Framework?

• Input into tracking biodiversity expenditure methodologies in EU

• A map of global biodiversity financing flows? Link to OECD/ODA Rio Markers

(from Climate Policy Initiative)

Links to UNSEEA?

• Links between baseline expenditure categories and budget categories for financing need assessment

•What if any are links commonalities being used in UNSEEA ?

•What level of expenditure cost categorisation might be most useful for any interface ?

BIOFIN – Axis 1: Global Work

2014 COP-122013 2015 2016 COP-13

• Objective: identify ways to develop/access all financing options:

• public & private

• domestic & international

• traditional & “innovative”

• efficiency

• reallocation

• Actions:

• Analysis of a comprehensive catalogue of BFM by national BIOFIN

team/expert

• Technical assistance by dedicated BFM experts from the global BIOFIN team

• Assess technical/financial suitability/viability vs. national circumstances

• Assess political feasibility

• Identify required institutional, legal, regulatory and capacity requirements

• Formulate recommendations for each suitable BFM and prioritise

BIOFIN – Res Mob Strategy

BIOFIN – First learning

• For biodiversity innovative methodologically and politically => collaborative

learning partnership

• New partnerships via hosting arrangements and outreach w MoF/Planning

• Capacity challenge at national level in some countries, technical assistance key

• Can strengthen NBSAPs and financing plans

• Range of interesting pieces emerging on policy drivers, funding baselines and

gaps, and resourcing

• Significant interest in, and opportunities for, South-South Cooperation

• Increased impact by stronger collaboration with NCA (UN-SEEA, WAVES) & BD/ES
