Book excerpt: This report provides information from a consultancy project carried out to assist the European Commission in its implementation of the Biodiversity Strategy for 2030. It evaluates the biodiversity expenditure tracking methodology used by the Commission for the 2014 to 2020 Multiannual Financial Framework, and, on the basis of those findings and in the light of changes to the structure of programmes, makes recommendations for tracking in the 2021-2027 period. It also offers suggestions on possible alternative methodologies, and on improving the consistency of EU Member State international reporting on biodiversity. The second part of the report then estimates the financing needs for delivery of the 41 objectives under the EU biodiversity strategy for 2030. Current levels of financial expenditure from the EU, from Member States public expenditure, and from private sources, are then estimated. Estimates of future expenditure from these sources for the period 2021-2030 are then developed, based on a combination of extrapolation and published budgetary plans. In a final step, these estimates are compared to the estimated financing needs, and an estimated average gap of EUR 18.69 billion a year is identified.
