Climate and biodiversity finance

Rapport

Biodiversity is being lost at an alarming rate, and the level of investments needed to reverse the loss is enormous – as is the gap between the needs and the resources that are currently being invested. This brief provides an overview of the commitments, status and challenges of biodiversity finance, internationally and in Sweden.

Rapport

Sweden is one of the largest providers of international climate finance in relative terms. In 2021, the government announced a doubling of climate finance until 2025, compared to 2019 levels. Members of CONCORD Sweden have generally welcomed these promises, not least because of the increasing needs for support to adaptation in the most affected countries. At the same time, concerns have been raised that the climate finance is not additional to the budget for international aid.
