2025 represents a pivotal moment for nature. As we face an increasingly volatile world and challenging economic environment it is essential to accelerate the redirection of public and private financial flows towards climate and nature initiatives and shift over to more sustainable economies. Notably, 2025 marks a milestone in the race to bridge the biodiversity finance gap, with the Kunming Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF) target to mobilise US$20 billion per year of international nature finance to developing countries.
This report provides context for the 2025 Dashboard and the underlying data it presents. Although the Dashboard was published in 2025, it largely reflects financial data up to and from 2023. This is due to the two-year reporting cycle on financial data coming from the OECD. For future iterations of the dashboard, we will continue to assess the sources available and use the most recent highest quality data available and hope to see data improvements. We will continue to monitor how the Dashboard aligns with formal KMGBF monitoring frameworks.
