1. 1
Lessons Learned from Integrated Landscape Finance to
Advance the Global Biodiversity Framework:
Review of experience and recommendations for
National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans and
National Biodiversity Finance Plans
6th
GLF Investment Case Symposium Global
March 7, 2023

2. Project objective
2
Draw lessons from the experience of integrated
landscape finance for strengthening the
development of National Biodiversity Strategies
and Action Plans (NBSAPs) and National
Biodiversity Finance Plans (NBFPs)

3. Why integrated landscape finance?
• Ecological and economic interactions
in a landscape have powerful
negative or positive interactions on
profitability, risk and impact
• Coordinated planning enhances
performance and accelerates
regenerative transformation
• Landscape partnerships maximize
synergies, minimize tradeoffs to sustain
and regenerate resources and meet
long-term needs for all

4. Dimensions of integrated landscape finance

5. Challenges for NBSAPs and NBFPs
-Limited focus on landscape
and local level
-Weak relationship between
NBFPs and NBSAPs
-Need for long-term vision and
commitment among
stakeholders
-Inadequate capacity for using
integrated approaches
-Limited diversity of funding
sources identified
-Sectoral integration
-Link between NBSAPs and
finance mobilization efforts
-Link between NBSAPs and
private sector finance actors
-NBSAPs and landscape
approach

6. Recommendations
6
1. Facilitate alignment of financial flows for biodiversity, climate, land
restoration, and economic development through cross-sectoral and
multi-stakeholder policy coordination
2. Create spatially explicit, place-based plans that include biodiversity
conservation in relation to other sustainable development goals.
3. Promote finance models that support multiple projects with synergies for
biodiversity and sustain action over a long-time horizon.
4. Mobilise private investment within integrated multi-sector, place-based
development plans that benefit biodiversity
5. Strengthen landscape-level institutions for long-term collaborative
finance planning and implementation.
6. Develop Technical Guidance and capacity development for countries
to better align NBSAPs and NBAPs with GBF whole-of-society strategy
