COP Decision 15/7 established an Advisory Committee on Resource Mobilization with a view:
(a) To fully align the strategy for resource mobilization adopted by the same decision with the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and to ensure that it would provide a solid basis to guide Parties and other actors towards the mobilization of adequate resources, commensurate with the ambition of the Framework;
(b) To explore the current finance landscape with a view to assessing gaps and overlaps and to identifying opportunities to strengthen, simplify and reform existing instruments to strengthen the current finance landscape for biodiversity;
(c) To explore proposals for a global instrument on biodiversity finance to mobilize resources from all sources, commensurate with the ambition of the Framework, based on the assessment made and the gaps identified.
The full Terms of Reference to the Advisory Committee on Resource Mobilization can be found in Annex II of decision 15/7.
