Biodiversity Funds at a Glance

Biodiversity, the living component of natural capital, is the lifeforce of the planet, and yet its demise is closer than we think. According to the World Economic Forum’s 2024 Global Risks Report, biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse is the third top 10 problem in a decade’s time and right now one million species are on the brink of extinction.

Today, according to BloombergNEF’s Biodiversity Finance Factbook, financing explicitly to protect and restore the planet’s more fragile natural resources currently amounts to $166 billion per year, less than one-sixth of the annual investment in the energy transition.

This will need to jump to almost $1 trillion by 2030 to sustainably manage biodiversity and maintain the integrity of ecosystems. Global GDP could be $2.7 trillion a year lower than projected levels by 2030 due to biodiversity loss.
