The OECD estimates global biodiversity finance currently ranges from USD 79 billion to USD 92 billion annually, highlighting the need for increased investment.
The United Nations Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework includes Target 19, which calls for scaling biodiversity finance to USD 200 billion per year by 2030.
To support this goal, the OECD provides governments with evidence-based analysis to expand biodiversity finance from public, private, domestic, and international sources. Efforts include biodiversity tagging, green budgeting, tracking economic tools and their impact, and promoting incentives for the private sector to address environmental externalities.
Additional initiatives focus on reforming incentives that harm biodiversity, monitoring biodiversity-related development finance, and assisting central banks, financial supervisors, and policymakers in assessing biodiversity and nature-related financial risks.
Before the Global Biodiversity Stocktake in 2026, the OECD plans to deliver an updated analysis on progress toward the USD 200 billion biodiversity finance target.
