The Aichi Target 2 requires that biodiversity values be integrated into national and local development poverty reduction strategies and planning processes and be incorporated into national accounting, as appropriate, and reporting systems (UNEP 2015). As of November 2016, only four countries (Congo, Finland, Georgia, and Guinea) had their national targets commensurate with the Aichi Target 2; and only Guinea-Bissau had its national targets exceed the Aichi Target 2 (CBD 2016). As an overall conclusion, it can be said that the values of biodiversity are not widely reflected in decision making (Rode, Wittmer and Watfe 2012). There is a lack of global indicator monitoring progress towards this target under the CBD-mandated Biodiversity Indicators Partnership (The Biodiversity Indicators Partnership [BIP] 2018). Additionally, no data have been reported in the SDG- tracker platform (Ritchie and Mispy 2018). Several main recommendations of the TEEB Synthesis Report relate to Aichi Target 2: (1) make nature’s value visible, (2) measure better to manage better, and (3) integrate into policy human dependence on ecosystem services as a lifeline for many poor households.

ODA for biodiversity has increased worldwide by 357.7 per cent from 2002 to 2016. Assistance has been addressed in greater proportions to African and LDCs from 2009 to 2016. At its peak in 2016, African countries and LDCs obtained $2.5 billion and $2 billion, respectively. Investments in Western Asia have also steeply increased from less than $100 million in 2013 to over $1 billion in 2015. In 2015, the main donor countries were Australia and countries in North America and Western Europe. Countries receiving over $500 million 2015-valued-USD in that same year were Iraq, Turkey, Ukraine, DRC, and Colombia (Ritchie and Mispy 2018).
