Lessons Learned from Integrated Landscape Finance to advance the Global Biodiversity Framework

Overview

The post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) agreed upon under the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) includes ambitious targets requiring significant resource mobilization to achieve the biodiversity goals set. To achieve these goals, countries are developing National Biodiversity Finance Plans (NBFP) based on National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plans (NBSAPs) with national targets. The new GBF is also framed to require ‘whole-of-society’ and ‘whole-of- government’ approach, not only national government integration of biodiversity efforts.

This report aims to inform the transition to these more holistic plans by considering how the concepts, lessons, and tools of integrated landscape finance (ILF) can inform and strengthen NBSAPs and NBFPs to yield more effective, efficient, and equitable results for people and nature.
