This briefing provides an overview of biodiversity finance and makes the case for increasing support to customary rights-holders. It additionally describes the financial flows driving biodiversity destruction and shows how they harm local people as well as nature, and outlines six key areas where the post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework could increase the effectiveness of biodiversity finance by building on common ground with customary rights-holders.
This briefing has been produced as part of a series co-authored by Forest Peoples Programme (FPP) and partner organisations to expand on, and explore the policy implications of, the research and findings in the 2nd edition of the Local Biodiversity Outlooks. It is intended to contribute towards the evidence-based negotiations and dialogues towards the post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD).
