Belgium needs to ensure, through its' own resources, adequate financing of biodiversity. Therefore it is important to investigate financing possibilities at national level such as the establishment of specific funds for biodiversity, the integration of biodiversity in sectoral budgets and programmes (in particular in Research and Development plans and programs), the establishment of partnerships with the finance and business sectors, etc. Other innovative financial mechanisms should be investigated, such as partnerships with the private sector.
In Flanders, a specific funds (Minafonds) has been established to deals with financial aspects of investments in the field of environment.
The federal level should investigate possibilities to use the Raw Material Funds for biodiversity.
