Political Vision: The 10 Point Plan for Financing Biodiversity
Principles for action
Comprehensive package deal
We commit to work together towards a comprehensive package of actions on biodiversity finance from all sources, commensurate with the level of collective and national ambition and commitment, recognizing the need for contributions from: all countries domestically; international contributions by developed countries and other countries and entities that can provide international public finance; international financial institutions; the private sector and philanthropy; as well as the essential enabling role of partnerships.
Greening financial systems
We commit to align financial systems and our economies with pathways to become climate neutral, nature-positive, resilient and less-polluting.
Financing sustainable and nature-positive actions
We commit to work together and with others to finance actions to close the biodiversity finance gap and thereby support the full and effective implementation of the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF).
Fostering synergies in environmental finance
We recognise that we face several interrelated environmental crises including climate change, biodiversity loss, desertification, and pollution. We therefore commit to ensuring coherent and mutually reinforcing financing across each of these issues.
Just transition
We further commit to ensuring a just, equitable and progressive transition to an economy that delivers benefits to all people, particularly the poorest and most vulnerable, including women, youth, and persons with disabilities, respecting and protecting the rights of Indigenous Peoples as well as their knowledge and that of local communities.
