In December 2022, 196 governments agreed to put nature back on track with the adoption of the landmark Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). But, to successfully halt and reverse biodiversity loss by 2030, we urgently need to fill a $700 billion a year biodiversity finance gap.

The 10 Point Plan for Financing Biodiversity (10PP) was launched by the UK, Gabon, Maldives and Ecuador to catalyse action towards bridging this finance gap. It set out 10 actionable pathways for unlocking nature finance to meet the GBF targets to phase out or repurpose $500 billion/year of harmful subsidies and scale $200 billion/year in domestic and international biodiversity funding by 2030. Most pressing of all is the interim target to increase international financial flows to developing countries by $20 billion/year by 2025.

With endorsements from 44 countries, representing a third of global GDP, the 10PP was designed to drive progress towards plugging the biodiversity finance gap by 2030. Progress towards each point in the 10PP is progress towards the whole $700 billion.

The first update on finance trends under the 10 Point Plan was published at UNFCCC COP28 in Dubai.
