A multi-dimensional mapping of global biodiversity development finance 1: Technical University of Munich, Germany; 2: Université Paris-Saclay, AgroParisTech; 3: Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship Biodiversity finance is central to achieving the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). Yet, donor reporting remains fragmented and inconsistent. We introduce a three-dimensional framework that distinguishes the goal, instrument, and ecosystem of biodiversity development finance. Using large language models (LLMs) to apply this framework, we classify 5.4 million official development finance (ODF) projects from 2000–2023. Despite an increase from USD 2.8 to 15.1 billion over this period, we estimate that biodiversity finance will remain 16-43% below the GBF Target of USD 30 billion annually by 2030. Biodiversity finance is concentrated in activities (e.g., 31% in pollution-control infrastructure) and spatially (e.g., 24% in China, India, Colombia, Brazil, and Vietnam). Overall, we find that the allocation of funding aligns well with countries’ ecosystem needs, as measured by species richness and ecological restoration potential. The presented framework can help monitor and evaluate biodiversity finance across sources globally. | |
