Counting what counts: closing the private nature finance reporting gap

24 October; 14:00–15:00
Location: FfB – FAIRR Pavilion, Blue Zone

As governments and financial institutions work to deliver the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, a major challenge remains: tracking private finance for nature. While public biodiversity finance is relatively well documented, current reporting systems capture only a fraction of private investment, creating a significant data gap that obscures progress toward Target 19. An informal COP17 roundtable hosted by the CBD Secretariat, UNEP FI, UNDP BIOFIN and Climate Policy Initiative will explore practical solutions to close this gap, including a common reporting framework, country validation processes, and agreed methodologies for measuring private finance flows.
