Concurrently, a steady increase has been recorded in bilateral biodiversity-related ODA from members of the OECD DAC over the past decade, reaching USD 7.9 billion per year in 2015-16. Despite this, biodiversity-related ODA still makes up only a small share of overall portfolios, around 6% in 2015-16. Both of these include efforts to a) improve policies and institutions, b) improve data and information systems, and c) mobilise financing for biodiversity conservation and sustainable use.
