Sustainability/Institutionalization

This chapter guides countries on how to continue the BIOFIN Process once the Biodiversity Finance Plan is completed. To succeed, countries should not exclusively focus on the implementation of stand-alone finance solutions identified in the plan. They equally need to preserve and maintain a lead role in supporting national actors in coordinating biodiversity finance and widening the space for policy debates. The chapter first describes how to embed each BIOFIN step into existing governing frameworks to guarantee the highest degree of ownership and ensure their long-term sustainability (Section 7.1). This is followed by further guidance on implementing specific finance solutions (Section 7.2).
