The Workbook provides an innovative, stepwise and adaptable approach that enables countries to: Assess the policy, institutional, and economic context for biodiversity finance and map existing finance solutions; Measure current biodiversity expenditures, from the public and private sectors, donors and NGOs; Make a reliable estimate of the finance needed to achieve a country’s biodiversity goals, and compare this to current biodiversity expenditures; and develop a biodiversity finance plan that identifies and mobilises the resources and policies required to implement the most suitable finance solutions.
