La dépense mondiale en biodiversité (GLOBE) est une taxonomie qui classe l’ensemble des dépenses publiques potentielles en faveur de la biodiversité.

La taxonomie se compose de deux éléments :

1. un document d’orientation expliquant les différents aspects de la taxonomie, y compris son intégration dans la méthodologie BIOFIN ; et
2. la taxonomie elle-même, sous forme de fichier Excel, qui classe les dépenses publiques liées à la biodiversité en 9 catégories principales, sous-catégories et programmes de dépenses. Celles-ci sont liées à des accords mondiaux tels que le Cadre mondial pour la biodiversité (GBF), les Objectifs de développement durable (ODD), et d’autres. Chaque sous-catégorie ou programme de dépenses sera, à terme, associé à des taux d’attribution à la biodiversité (Biodiversity Attribution Rates – à intégrer dans une version future), eux-mêmes liés aux fonctions gouvernementales.

En plus de soutenir les examens des dépenses en biodiversité, GLOBE peut servir d’outil pour évaluer l’exhaustivité des Stratégies et plans d’action nationaux pour la biodiversité (SPANB) ou être appliqué au niveau infranational.

This session explores how marine finance and financial instruments can unlock credible revenue pathways to scale nature-positive investment and support national implementation of the Global Biodiversity Framework. Bringing together public, private, and community stakeholders, the session draws on emerging insights from Revenues for Nature–supported models and global case studies to examine practical approaches already in action, from regulatory and supply chain mechanisms to compensatory schemes.

This webinar is part of the UNDP-UNEP FI Public-Private Community of Practice on Nature and Development Finance series as part of Revenues for Nature, which bridges private finance strategies with government-led National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs) to mobilize funding for nature. The series focuses on key enablers to achieve the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF) Target 19, aligning public and private sector priorities to unlock new investment opportunities.  

El Manual BIOFIN 2024 proporciona orientación detallada para diseñar e implementar planes nacionales de financiamiento de la biodiversidad. Estos no son simples planes. Establecen un proceso para involucrar a una coalición de actores en torno al tema del financiamiento de la biodiversidad durante un período prolongado. Este proceso está anclado en el sector financiero, incluidos los Ministerios de Finanzas, los bancos centrales, los organismos reguladores y los bancos de desarrollo. El desarrollo de capacidades de este grupo central de actores en cada país es un elemento clave del proceso.

Desde la creación de BIOFIN en 2012, los planes nacionales de financiamiento de la biodiversidad (BFP, por sus siglas en inglés) han evolucionado hasta convertirse en un instrumento reconocido a nivel mundial para movilizar y reorientar los flujos financieros hacia la naturaleza. Sobre la base de las lecciones aprendidas en los primeros 41 países que aplicaron la metodología BIOFIN, los donantes de BIOFIN y el Fondo para el Medio Ambiente Mundial (GEF) se comprometieron a apoyar el diseño e implementación de BFP en 132 países participantes, en el marco de los ambiciosos objetivos del GBF para 2030.

El primer grupo de países BIOFIN que implementaron sus planes de financiamiento de la biodiversidad logró resultados significativos. Entre ellos se incluyen un aumento presupuestario de 86 millones de dólares estadounidenses para áreas protegidas en Filipinas y de 70 millones de dólares en Kazajistán, 108 millones de dólares en créditos verdes en Ecuador, asignaciones de 120 millones de dólares mediante transferencias fiscales ecológicas en Malasia, y la emisión del primer bono verde en Zambia por un valor de 200 millones de dólares. Botsuana aumentó los ingresos de sus áreas protegidas en 3,6 millones de dólares al año, los gobiernos locales de Mongolia lograron un incremento de ingresos superior a 10 millones de dólares anuales y Seychelles creó la primera unidad de financiamiento de la biodiversidad para institucionalizar el proceso BIOFIN.

An online knowledge exchange bringing together practitioners and policymakers to share real-world experiences in designing and implementing finance solutions for protected areas worldwide.

This inaugural webinar of the 2026 Knowledge Exchange on Nature Finance series is co-organized by UNDP Biodiversity Finance Initiative (BIOFIN), NBSAP Accelerator Partnership, and PANORAMA – Solutions for a Healthy Planet, providing a platform for peer learning, practical insights, and scalable approaches to financing nature.

On 18 February 2026, UNDP’s Biodiversity Finance Initiative (BIOFIN) convened a peer-learning “teach-in” with colleagues from the UK’s Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) to explore England’s transition from traditional agricultural subsidies to environmental land management incentives.

Le Manuel BIOFIN 2024 fournit des orientations détaillées pour concevoir et mettre en œuvre des plans nationaux de financement de la biodiversité. Il ne s’agit pas de simples plans : ils définissent un processus visant à mobiliser, sur la durée, une coalition d’acteurs autour de la question du financement de la biodiversité. Ce processus est ancré dans le secteur financier, incluant les ministères des Finances, les banques centrales, les régulateurs et les banques de développement. Le renforcement des capacités de ce groupe central d’acteurs dans chaque pays constitue un élément clé du processus.

Depuis la création de BIOFIN en 2012, les plans nationaux de financement de la biodiversité (BFP) sont devenus un mécanisme reconnu à l’échelle mondiale pour mobiliser et réorienter les flux financiers en faveur de la nature. S’appuyant sur les enseignements tirés des 41 premiers pays ayant mis en œuvre la méthodologie BIOFIN, les bailleurs de BIOFIN et le Fonds pour l’environnement mondial (FEM) ont apporté leur soutien à la conception et à la mise en œuvre des BFP dans 132 pays participants, dans le cadre des objectifs ambitieux du Cadre mondial de la biodiversité à l’horizon 2030.

Le premier groupe de pays BIOFIN ayant mis en œuvre leurs plans de financement de la biodiversité a obtenu des résultats significatifs. Cela inclut une augmentation budgétaire de 86 millions de dollars américains pour les aires protégées aux Philippines et de 70 millions de dollars au Kazakhstan, 108 millions de dollars de crédits verts en Équateur, des allocations de 120 millions de dollars via des transferts fiscaux écologiques en Malaisie, ainsi que l’émission de la toute première obligation verte en Zambie, d’une valeur de 200 millions de dollars. Le Botswana a augmenté les revenus de ses aires protégées de 3,6 millions de dollars par an, les collectivités locales en Mongolie ont enregistré une hausse de revenus de plus de 10 millions de dollars par an, et les Seychelles ont créé la toute première unité de financement de la biodiversité afin d’institutionnaliser le processus BIOFIN.

In this video podcast edition, explore how financial systems can help close the global biodiversity finance gap.

Hosted by Ana Orozco, Environmental Finance Specialist at UNDP BIOFIN, the conversation brings together two experts working at the intersection of finance and sustainability:

• Juliana Maritza Martínez Fernández, Advisor to the President of the Central Bank of Cuba
• Jorge Guillermo Escobar Paz, Director of Planning at the Ministry of Public Finance of Guatemala

Their insights highlight an important shift: nature is increasingly being recognized as a financial issue — not just an environmental one.

Central banks play a critical regulatory role. By integrating environmental and social risks into financial policies and supervision, they can help ensure that financial systems are prepared for risks linked to biodiversity loss and climate change. In Cuba, collaboration with UNDP’s Biodiversity Finance Initiative (BIOFIN) has helped strengthen the national banking system’s capacity to develop green financial products and increase awareness of biodiversity finance across the country.

Finance ministries also play a pivotal coordinating role. From fiscal policy and budgeting to innovative financial instruments, they help align national economic planning with environmental priorities. In Guatemala, the Ministry of Finance has introduced an environmental fiscal strategy, explored instruments such as green bonds, parametric insurance, and environmental taxes, and strengthened systems for tracking biodiversity-related expenditures.

Together, these efforts demonstrate why biodiversity finance requires leadership from both environmental institutions and financial authorities.

As highlighted in the discussion: half of global GDP depends on nature, making the integration of biodiversity into financial decision-making essential for long-term economic stability. 

How can businesses support nature?

Ana Orozco, Environmental Finance Specialist at UNDP BIOFIN, explores these questions with two experts:
🔹Dora Moncada, Director of the Water and Biodiversity Center at the National Association of Businesspeople of Colombia (ANDI)
🔹Natalia Mesa Ramírez, National Coordinator of the Biodiversity Finance Initiative in Costa Rica

For decades, economic growth and nature conservation were treated as separate worlds. Yet economies depend on healthy ecosystems, and biodiversity loss poses real risks for businesses, financial systems, and societies.

From supporting nature-positive value chains to building partnerships between businesses, governments, and the financial sector, the conversation highlights how private sector engagement is essential to closing the biodiversity finance gap.

Watch the video interview and learn:
🔹 How businesses depend on ecosystem services such as water, soil health, and pollination
🔹 Why understanding nature-related risks, impacts, and dependencies is becoming essential for companies
🔹 How business associations and national initiatives are working with BIOFIN to engage the private sector
🔹Practical examples from Colombia and Costa Rica on mobilizing private investment for nature

Agriculture depends on nature, and the way we finance agriculture can either protect biodiversity or put it at risk.

Across many countries, governments are beginning to rethink subsidies and incentives that unintentionally harm biodiversity and instead support sustainable agricultural practices that benefit both farmers and ecosystems.

In Colombia, UNDP BIOFIN is working with the agricultural development bank FINAGRO to help redirect credit lines toward nature-positive production practices in sectors such as livestock, coffee, cocoa, cassava, forest products, and rice. By aligning financial incentives with sustainable production, the country is exploring ways to mobilize significant resources while supporting farmers’ livelihoods.

In Ecuador, efforts to reform fuel and agricultural subsidies are being paired with green credit and microfinance solutions, helping ensure that reducing harmful incentives goes hand-in-hand with increasing investment in sustainable production.

These experiences show that shifting from harmful subsidies to nature-positive finance solutions is not only possible — it is already happening.

Watch the full conversation moderated by Mariana Bellot, Global Coordinator of BIOFIN’s Biodiversity Finance Plans programme, with Diego Daniel Olarte Suárez (BIOFIN Colombia) and Arturo Mora (BIOFIN Ecuador) to learn how countries are turning policy challenges into opportunities for sustainable agriculture and biodiversity finance. 

Private finance for nature is rapidly moving into the mainstream. Over the past few years, we’ve seen a surge in innovative mechanisms such as biodiversity credits, green bonds, and blended finance models.

In this video interview, Ingrid Barbosa Fang (Lead Biodiversity Coordinator at Natura, Brazil) and Carola Moreno (Coordinator for Finance and International Affairs, Ministry of Finance of Chile) share practical insights on what it takes to catalyze private investment for biodiversity. Watch the video and hear directly from the experts to explore the challenges, opportunities, and what needs to happen next to scale finance for nature.

Egypt’s National Biodiversity Finance Plan (BFP) 2024–2030 sets out a comprehensive, evidence-based framework to mobilize sustainable financing for biodiversity conservation, recognizing biodiversity as a cornerstone of economic growth, social equity, and environmental resilience. Aligned with Egypt Vision 2030, the Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), and the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP), the BFP was developed using the BIOFIN methodology and is underpinned by the Policy and Institutional Review (PIR), Biodiversity Expenditure Review (BER), and Financial Needs Assessment (FNA). These assessments identified a biodiversity financing gap of USD 291.9 million for 2024–2030, guiding the prioritization of nine high-impact and feasible finance solutions through an inclusive, multi-stakeholder process that balances biodiversity impact, financial potential, and likelihood of success.

The Plan proposes a diversified mix of government-led, market-based, private sector, and community-driven solutions that operationalize the shift from traditional funding to sustainable financing, in line with Egypt’s Integrated National Financing Strategy (E-INFS). Key interventions include reforms to protected area fees and concessions, performance-based budgeting, biodiversity-positive carbon credits, insurance schemes, biodiversity offsets, public–private partnerships, corporate social responsibility funding, and mobilization of international finance. Together, these measures aim to integrate biodiversity into national planning and financial systems, strengthen accountability and transparency, promote gender equality and community participation, and ensure adaptive implementation. As a living document, the BFP provides a practical roadmap to close the financing gap, scale conservation impact, and support Egypt’s long-term goals for sustainable development and biodiversity conservation.

La consolidación de la naturaleza como una prioridad estratégica para el sector productivo colombiano ha impulsado una mayor alineación con los objetivos del Plan de Acción de Biodiversidad – PAB a 2030. En respuesta a esta evolución, el Programa de las Naciones Unidas para el Desarrollo – PNUD y su Iniciativa de Finanzas para la Biodiversidad – BIOFIN en Colombia presentan la propuesta de “Ruta metodológica para identificar el nivel de ambición de reporte de una empresa conforme el marco TNFD”, el cual desarrolla dos componentes principales:

1. un análisis técnico sobre los requerimientos de información ambiental, financiera y empresarial necesarios para la implementación de la arquitectura de métricas del marco TNFD;
2. la formulación de una herramienta para orientar de manera gradual el uso de métricas que cuenten con fuentes de información compatibles con los estándares del TNFD.

Este documento aporta elementos clave para fortalecer la capacidad del sector privado en la gestión, evaluación y divulgación de asuntos relacionados con naturaleza y biodiversidad.
