CHM - ORTBy 2030, Cambodia will mobilize funds for the development and implementation of the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan through increased national budget, innovative financing, public-private/NGOs partnerships and international support.
Policy: NBSAP 2026-2030, NDC 3.0, Circular Strategy on Environment (2023-2028), and Pentagonal Strategy Phase I.
Actions: Cambodia will mobilize biodiversity finance through implementation of the NBSAP 2026–2030 Resource Mobilization and Finance Plan, aligned with the Pentagonal Strategy Phase I (2023–2028), the Circular Strategy on Environment (2023–2028) and NDC 3.0 (2025). National budget allocations will progressively increase through biodiversity tagging and improved public financial management. Innovative instruments such as PES, REDD+, climate-linked finance, trust funds and blended finance platforms will be expanded. Public–private partnerships and international cooperation will diversify funding sources and secure long-term, results-based financing for conservation and restoration

This target is a direct finance mobilisation agenda, combining increased national budget effort with innovative finance and public-private partnership approaches. The action set explicitly recognises development partner roles and private sector participation, signalling a whole-of-society financing model. The design reflects collective effort logic by linking finance mobilisation to delivery of NBSAP (2026-2030) targets across responsible institutions.
Strong national mobilisation framing; GBF includes quantified global finance figures (not expected to be replicated verbatim in national targets).
