The biodiversity finance landscape is changing. Both domestic and international financial flows have grown and the range of financing instruments, providers and delivery mechanisms now available is significantly wider than ever before. This online “catalogue” is a comprehensive list of these instruments, tools and strategies that are applicable to the field of biodiversity finance. Each catalogue entry is a mechanism or “finance solution” and includes a brief description as well as links to guidance material or case studies.
UNDP-BIOFIN's searchable catalogue provides a listing of all solutions profiled. Solutions can also be searched by the financial result they produce, the financial instrument they rely upon, whether they are public or private finance, and the economic sector in which their use is most prevalent.
The resource provides further guidance on Stage 3: Financing Strategy, specifically Component 1: mapping sources of finance for prioritized investments, Component 3: Identifying finance partners and setting up a detailed financing plan; and Component 4: Strengthening enabling environments and de-risking of the Climate Investment Planning and Mobilization Framework (CIPMF).
