Timely implementation of State Biodiversity Action Plan (SBAP) requires adequate financial resources for the corresponding implementing agencies. In India, the existing SBAPs have attempted to measure the required budget to implement the action plans, but an assessment on public financing, especially budgetary provisions and relevant expenditures is lacking. No attempts were made to estimate the biodiversity-relevant expenditures present in the state that are not tagged as SBAP activities. The study proposes a unique method of analysing the public expenditure related to SBAP activities and subsequently finds the potential gaps to be fulfilled through external funding. The methodology is a combination of top-down and bottom-up analysis of public financing to investigate the Annual Financial Statements and CAG (Comptroller and Auditor General of India) reports on Appropriation Account with schemes implemented in the State, year wise. A gap assessment is done to identify sector-specific funding requirement to implement the SBAP. The findings from Punjab state case study could be utilized by other States to fathom the financial resources required for SBAP implementation and to what extent, States would be able to support the SBAP. The study also recommends the inclusion of PES in the SBAP budget.

及时执行《国家生物多样性行动计划》需要相应的执行机构有足够的财政资源。在印度，现有的SBAP试图衡量实施行动计划所需的预算，但是缺乏对公共资金，尤其是预算拨款和相关支出的评估。没有尝试估算该州目前未标记为SBAP活动的与生物多样性相关的支出。该研究提出了一种分析与SBAP活动相关的公共支出的独特方法，随后发现了可以通过外部资金弥补的潜在差距。该方法结合了自上而下和自下而上的公共融资分析，以调查年度财务报表和CAG（印度审计和审计长）报告，以及在该州逐年实施的计划。进行了差距评估，以确定实施SBAP的特定行业的资金需求。旁遮普邦国家案例研究的调查结果可以被其他国家用来估算实施SBAP所需的财政资源，以及各国在多大程度上能够支持SBAP。该研究还建议将PES纳入SBAP预算。旁遮普邦国家案例研究的调查结果可以被其他国家用来估算实施SBAP所需的财政资源，以及各国在多大程度上能够支持SBAP。该研究还建议将PES纳入SBAP预算。旁遮普邦国家案例研究的调查结果可以被其他国家用来估算实施SBAP所需的财政资源，以及各国在多大程度上能够支持SBAP。该研究还建议将PES纳入SBAP预算。
