The BIOFIN Workbook 2024 provides detailed guidance to design and implement national biodiversity finance plans.  These are not mere plans. They set out a process to engage a coalition of actors around the issue of biodiversity finance for an extended time.

The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) calls for a whole-of-society approach to halting and reversing nature loss.

The Little Book of Investing in Nature provides an essential overview of the area of biodiversity finance at a time when governments and international negotiators are urgently seeking pragmatic solutions for the twin crises of climate change and the loss of nature.
