The difficulty of the expenditure review is that there is no single expense called biodiversity;we need to assess the budgets and expenditures in more detail to identify how much of an agency’s total spending is on biodiversity.Ms. Annabelle Trinidad mentioned that she was pleased to see that this workshop is looking not only at the NBSAP, but also at the other related conventions and the SDGs. This will help identify co-benefits arising from biodiversity expenditures.
