2. Outline of the Presentation Evolution of debates and strategy for resource mobilization for biodiversity Indicators for resource mobilization Financial reporting

3. Strategy for Resource Mobilization COP-9 (2008): Adoption COP-10 (2010): Fifteen indicators COP-11 (2012): Preliminary funding targets COP-12 (2014): Final funding targets with domestic dimension

4. Funding targets by 2015-2020 Double international financial resource flows At least 75 per cent of Parties to have: – included biodiversity as national priorities – reported domestic biodiversity expenditures, as well as funding needs, gaps and priorities – prepared national financial plans 30 per cent of those Parties have assessed and/or evaluated values

5. Pertinent funding trends COP-9 2008 COP-10 2010 COP-11 2012 COP-12 2014

6. Weak in micro-foundation Decision X/3 indicators (15) Number of countries that have assessed values of biodiversity Technical cooperation; South-South cooperation Domestic funding No indicator on contribution of collective action of indigenous peoples and local communities

7. 4. Domestic biodiversity expenditures

8. Collective action of indigenous and local communities

9. Workshop in Mexico City, May 2015 Assessing the contribution of collective action by indigenous and local communities constitutes important work: – Can enhance the recognition of the important role of many indigenous and local communities as traditional biodiversity stewards – Can highlight an important source of resources that could be further mobilized for biodiversity conservation and sustainable use

10. Workshop in Mexico City, May 2015 Mutually supportive linkages between formal (monetary) resource mobilization activities and collective action – Formal biodiversity policies may sometimes risk jeopardizing (informal) collective action by indigenous and local communities – Promoting and harnessing collective action can enhance the effectiveness of formal policies and reduce their cost

11. Workshop in Mexico City, May 2015 The issue of monetization of the contribution of collective action: – enhance visibility and recognition – generate a powerful argument to enhance support, based on national income expenditure surveys. Maybe culturally inappropriate. Identify and describe possible approaches for undertaking such monetization when useful/appropriate

12. Workshop in Mexico City, May 2015 Importance of assessments being followed by adequate policy responses: – Measures that enable communities to maintain their traditional lifestyles – Strengthening community-based protected areas such as indigenous and community conserved areas (ICCAs) (UNEP-WCMC ICCA registry) – Giving formal recognition to traditional sacred sites, systems or reward and recognition (not necessarily monetary ones) etc.

13. Reporting as a solution Further guidance to on how to incorporate the values of collective action within the financial reporting framework – Simpler for Parties to report – Various stages of details to be considered – Different capacity This first round: as much information they can
