1. International financial resource flows

1.1 Please indicate the amount of resources provided by your country in support of biodiversity in developing countries, in particular least developed countries and small island developing States, as well as countries with economies in transition.

Please indicate, as appropriate, the nominal amount of financial resources provided by source as well as the total amount. Please also indicate your degree of confidence in the estimated amount or, alternatively, provide a range of estimates.

1.1.1 Baseline information

Currency: Euro Member Countries (EUR)

All values are : in units

Year	ODA	OOF	Other flows	Total
2006	12,083,000			12,083,000
2007	7,447,000			7,447,000

Directly related
Indirectly related

As applicable, methodology used to identify official resource flows:

OECD DAC Rio markers

As applicable, coefficient used for resource flows indirectly related to biodiversity, when calculating total numbers:

50%

Average confidence levels

ODA: High

OOF: High

Other flows: Low

Other methodological observations/comments, including sources of data:

While a discount factor of 50% has been applied in general for all activities assigned with CBD Marker 1, for Austrian contributions to the Global Environmental Facility a different factor has been applied. In this case 33% of the overall GEF contributions have been reported as CBD relevant. Please note also that no GEF contribution has been included in the figures for the year 2014, as the contributions for 2014 haven been only committed by early 2015 and thus have been included in the 2015 numbers. Data reported under Other Flows account for private sector finance mobilized through the Austrian Development Agency´s Business Partnership instrument.

1.1.2 Monitoring progress in mobilizing international financial flows For the purposes of monitoring progress, please provide data for years after 2010

Year	ODA	Other flows	Total
2013	29,101,000		29,101,000
