In December 2022, at the UN Biodiversity Summit COP15 in Montreal, the Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) was agreed by 196 countries. This landmark deal set a global commitment to halt and reverse biodiversity loss by 2030, delivered through 4 goals and 23 targets.

To halt and reverse biodiversity loss by 2030 finance must be mobilised from all sources – public, private, domestic and international – to close the $700 billion annual biodiversity funding gap.

Two years later, the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) COP16 is the first opportunity since the agreement of the GBF to review progress and maintain the momentum needed to achieve the targets by 2030.

This Dashboard, launched at CBD COP16, uses the latest publicly available data to track progress against the GBF finance targets helping identify where urgent progress is needed.
