Negotiations on Resource Mobilization began slowly with the task to review four annexes: a revised strategy for resource mobilization, a non-exhaustive list of actions to address the biodiversity finance gap, discussions on a potential dedicated global instrument for biodiversity finance, and terms of reference for a possible working group. Countries are divided on priorities, with some advocating for a new instrument, while others focusing in the resource mobilization strategy, as they do not consider it necessary to have a new fund.
