Annex III: Example of Attribution Rates Adopted by BIOFIN Countries
Annex III presents the attribution rates adopted by BIOFIN countries in a table format. While the table below can be used as a reference to discuss and define national attribution rates, it does not constitute an advice or recommendation to apply those rates. The attribution exercise remains highly contextual. BIOFIN will continue to work with its partners on providing more detailed guidance on biodiversity attribution rates.
