WHY ARE IFMS IMPORTANT?
• There is currently a shortfall in biodiversity finance
• Traditional forms of finance (ODA, philanthropy) are often seen as not being able to fill the gap
• IFMs can engage with the private sector
• IFMs may internalise the externality of biodiversity loss
BUT
• Political challenges to their implementation
• What do we mean when we are talking about IFMs?

IFMS UNDER THE CBD
• Under Decision IX/11B there are six sources of finance for biodiversity– Payment for ecosystem services– Biodiversity offset mechanisms– Environmental fiscal reforms– Markets for green products– Biodiversity in international development finance– Biodiversity in climate change funding
![Page 10: EU Innovative Finance Workshop](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020217/5555eb3bd8b42ad3548b4bd8/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
PREVIOUS STUDIES
• Gutman (2003) From Goodwill to Payments for Environmental Services– Presents 52 financing options– Broken down across six sources
• Public• Private not-for-profit• Private for-profit• Payments for environmental products• Payments for environmental services• “You may need less money than you think”
![Page 11: EU Innovative Finance Workshop](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020217/5555eb3bd8b42ad3548b4bd8/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
PREVIOUS STUDIES
• Gutman and Davidson (2008) A Review of Innovative International Financial Mechanisms for Biodiversity Conservation– Prepared for COP 9 of the CBD – Presents 61 traditional and innovative financing
options– Broken down across four categories
• Government sources• Voluntary sources• Markets and Businesses• International Payments for Ecosystem Services
![Page 12: EU Innovative Finance Workshop](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020217/5555eb3bd8b42ad3548b4bd8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
THINK PINC
• Prepared for COP 10
• Broken down into three sections:– Generation– Delivery– Institutional
Arrangements
• Presents 18 traditional and innovative mechanisms
![Page 13: EU Innovative Finance Workshop](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020217/5555eb3bd8b42ad3548b4bd8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
GENERATION MECHANISMS
• Based on core CBD principles of adequacy, predictability and timeliness
• Broken down across four criteria– Scale: How much?– Timeframe: When?– Level: At what level?– Market: From where?
![Page 14: EU Innovative Finance Workshop](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020217/5555eb3bd8b42ad3548b4bd8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
GENERATION MECHANISMS
• Based on core CBD principles of adequacy, predictability and timeliness
• Broken down across four criteria– Scale: How much?– Timeframe: When?– Level: At what level?– Market: From where?
• Four options: Direct, Indirect, Other, Non Market
![Page 15: EU Innovative Finance Workshop](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020217/5555eb3bd8b42ad3548b4bd8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
MARKET CRITERIA
• Direct mechanisms– Generate finance directly from the provision of an
ecosystem service or biodiversity – Usually local in scale– Require strong regulation to scale up
• Examples– Forest carbon market, direct PES mechanisms
![Page 16: EU Innovative Finance Workshop](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020217/5555eb3bd8b42ad3548b4bd8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
MARKET CRITERIA
• Indirect mechanisms– Raise finance by tangibly linking the value of
biodiversity and ecosystem services to more traditional markets
– Larger scales are achievable– Require some form of demand side regulation
• Examples– Green commodities (FSC, Shade grown coffee)– Ecotourism– Natural Capital Bonds
![Page 17: EU Innovative Finance Workshop](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020217/5555eb3bd8b42ad3548b4bd8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
MARKET CRITERIA
• Other market mechanisms– Generate finance from markets that are not linked
to biodiversity and ecosystem services– Even larger scales are possible– Politically challenging, requires coordination
• Examples– Maritime or aviation tax or levy, – Financial Transaction (Tobin) tax– Auctioning allowances
![Page 18: EU Innovative Finance Workshop](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020217/5555eb3bd8b42ad3548b4bd8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
MARKET CRITERIA
• Non Market mechanisms– More traditional mechanisms that generate
revenue from non-market sources of finance– Less predictable than other sources of finance– Require political will to scale up
• Examples– ODA– Philanthropy– Subsidy reform

CONCLUSIONS
• There is a shortfall in finance of $ hundreds of billions
• There are a range of mechanisms that are available
• These mechanisms have different levers to scale up – Direct: Regulation– Indirect: Demand– Other Market: Coordination– Non Market: Political will
• To reach finance at scale we need to use all mechanisms.
