Biodiversity-related expenditures in the 2024 Philippines General Appropriations Act (GAA) reached approximately PhP 11.77 billion, while 134 programs, projects, and activities (PPAs) in the Public Investment Program (PIP) demonstrated direct or indirect biodiversity benefits.  

The latest Biodiversity Expenditure Review (BER) generated these findings through an analysis of national and local government budgets, Official Development Assistance (ODA), and PIP allocations using the updated Global Biodiversity Expenditure (GLOBE) Taxonomy. 

Sectors contributing to biodiversity outcomes include climate resilience, agriculture, infrastructure, research and innovation, and social development among others.
