3. Has your country estimated the finance
needs to achieve national biodiversity
objectives?

4. • How much money do we
need to achieve the
biodiversity targets?
• What are the largest
components of costs?
• Which institutions or sectors
need it most?
• What activities are to be
funded ?
• What are the main risks
associated with our costing
assumptions?

5. Finance needs
assessment at
the global level
• High-Level Panel (CBD, 2012)
estimated costs for
implementing the twenty Aichi
Biodiversity Targets to be
between USD 150 and USD 440
billion per year
• Expert Panel, 2020 estimate the
resources from all sources
needed for different scenarios of
the implementation of the post-
2020 framework

6. Finance needs
assessment at
the global level
• McCarthy et al : USD $0.875 to
USD 1.23 billion annually for
lowering extinction risks of birds
and USD $65.1 billion annually for
terrestrial habitats.
• Sachs et al estimated finance
requirements for all SDGs
including SDG 14 and 15 at USD 7
billion minimum

are all linked
and
contribute
towards the
Finance Plan

11. Survey Question
Is a finance needs assessment an
essential input to the biodiversity finance
plan?

12. The biodiversity finance plan (BFP) is a national document
that presents a coherent and comprehensive approach to
biodiversity finance, encompassing a full suite of priority
finance solutions. It addresses all four finance results :
generate revenues, realign expenditures, deliver better, and
avoid future expenditures.

13. Preparing biodiversity finance plans

14. Screening Process
BIODIVERSITY IMPACT –
amount and significance
FINANCIAL IMPACT – scale
and sustainability / how
much, how stable, how long
SUCCESS – technical, legal,
social, and political feasibility
Preliminary Screening Detailed Screening
• Positive social and economic impact
(e.g. jobs, poverty reduction and
cultural and gender equality) ?
• Sufficient capacity of managing
actor(s) ?
• Onerous start-up costs in
comparison to the expected
financial returns ?
• Risks of significant unintended
negative social consequences ?

15. Management case: path to successful delivery, description
of the team
Strategic case: link to national priorities or investors’
investment strategies
Economic case: How society will be better off? How
economic benefits are distributed?
Financial case: Financial cost and path to funding; measure
of value for money
Commercial case [market instruments]: results of market
research and commercial viability
