Funding Ireland's Biodiversity: A Financial Needs Assessment for Biodiversity in Ireland (updated 2024)

This report provides a Financial Needs Assessment (FNA) of the amount that will need to be spent on biodiversity to meet the objectives of the new National Biodiversity Action Plan (NBAP) 2023-2030 which was published in January 2024. The FNA was undertaken by researchers based at University College Dublin funded by the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (DHLGH) (the home Department for the National Parks and Wildlife Service) with support also from the Irish Research Council (IRC). The report was first drafted in 2022 and subsequently updated in 2023 and 2024 to take account of the new EU Nature Restoration Law.
