Consultative Workshop on Resource Mobilization for the post 2020 Global Biodiversity Framework

Objectives

 

Concrete proposals to be considered in the further development of the post-2020 global biodiversity framework. To the extent feasible and appropriate, these proposals will cover the different elements of the framework including targets, indicators and baselines, for consideration by the Subsidiary Body on Implementation at its third meeting and the Working Group on the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework.

Workshop summary would be submitted to the Co-Chairs of the Working Group, the second meeting of the Working Group on Post-2020 and would, together with the outcomes of the second meeting of the Working group, assist the panel of experts to (a) revise their review and evaluation of the strategy for resource mobilization; (b) undertake an estimation of resource needs for post-2020; and (c) develop, or further develop, a draft resource mobilization component of the framework.

Provisional Agenda

Cluster 1: Scoping the challenge and assessing what is working:  Plenary: Current state of the art - Overview of current resource mobilization architecture; progress in implementing ABT 20 and the strategy for resource mobilization: expert kickoff presentation and discussion Break out groups:  Lessons learned from ABT 20 and SRM implementation I: international public and private finance  Lessons learned from ABT 20 and SRM implementation II: domestic public and private finance Plenary: Page 3  Changing the narrative for scaling biodiversity finance: recent work on biodiversity benefits. Presentation and discussion  Costing the post-2020 global biodiversity framework under different scenarios: expert presentation and initial discussion Cluster 2: Identifying scalable resource mobilization solutions  Part I (plenary): Focus on the WHAT: Options and approaches for mobilizing and providing additional resources from all sources. Opening presentation on resource mobilization opportunities that can be scaled to meet the resource mobilization needs and how to do that, followed by open discussion;  Part II (stations): Focus on the HOW: Concrete options for the individual elements of the resource mobilization component, including possible targets and indicators (following the practice from regional consultations, with a plenary presentation at the end; request to highlight what was missing or requires additional discussion). In line with decision 14/22, stations would also address: - Ways to strengthen the engagement of a wider range of financial and private institutions, at all levels and from all sources, to support the implementation of the post-2020 framework; - Ways to further mainstream biodiversity into national economic budgets and development plans, including key productive sectors; - Ways to improve the readiness and capacity of Parties to access and utilize financial resources in support of the implementation of the post-2020 framework. Cluster 3: Looking ahead to the resource mobilization component of the post-2020 framework  Parallel sessions on few identified items for further in-depth discussion from previous clusters (similar to approach at regional consultations).  Final brainstorming session (in plenary of in breakout sessions) on options and key elements for the resource mobilization component of the post-2020 framework, possibly including options for defining targets and associated indicators.
