@biofin.org
The Biodiversity Finance Initiative (BIOFIN) is a global partnership, led by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), working with over 130 countries to develop and implement finance solutions for nature. BIOFIN helps governments identify, mobilize, and align public and private financial flows to close the biodiversity finance gap and integrate biodiversity into national planning, budgeting, and economic policy. As traditional development aid continues to decline, the need for more catalytic funding models has never been greater. Finance for finance — the strategic use of limited donor resources to unlock much larger pools of public and private finance — offers a critical pathway forward. BIOFIN has deployed the finance-for-finance approach in 41 countries to catalyze over US$2.7 for nature since 2018. Small catalytic investments in policies, financial structures, and incentives have unlocked far larger sustainable finance flows, making the ‘finance for finance’ model a proven accelerator for countries aiming to meet their biodiversity and development goals.

About BIOFIN
BIOFIN is a global programme managed by the United Nations Development Programme, dedicated to showcasing how nature-positive economies can benefit people and the planet. With a presence in 40 countries, BIOFIN collaborates with governments, civil society, communities, and the private sector to channel investments towards nature conservation and sustainable development. By promoting biodiversity protection and fostering economic growth, BIOFIN aims to create jobs, support communities impacted by COVID-19, and secure a sustainable future for all.
Transitioning to a nature-positive economy requires a shift in economic paradigms to prioritize long-term sustainable performance over purely financial gains. As governments worldwide gear up for the United Nations Biodiversity Conference (COP15), the call for policies to reverse nature loss by 2030 has never been louder. With a focus on identifying innovative finance solutions, BIOFIN is at the forefront of driving positive change for both the planet and our economies.
