COP29: Biodiversity NDCs: Integrating Climate Change and Biodiversity Agendas
This event has now closed
Limiting global warming to ensure a habitable climate and protecting biodiversity are complementary objectives. Treating climate and biodiversity as coupled systems is key for policy interventions to achieve the best desired outcomes and many of the Nationally Determined Contributions have been incorporating actions and targets that are part of biodiversity action plans, which are recently being updated under the Kuming-Montreal global framework.
The space seeks to have a dialogue with representatives of the NDC Partnership, accelerator of the NBSAPs and the Nature4Climate Coalition, whose mission is to support the planning and implementation of measures that demonstrate the synergy between biodiversity and climate change. Successful cases will demonstrate the benefits of this synergy and call for the challenges that need to be overcome to strengthen the integration of biodiversity-climate change and sustainable development agendas.
As part of the good practices, opportunities to include nature-based solutions in the quest to increase the ambition of the NDCs will be shown.
It is expected to have first interventions on the opportunities and benefits of integrating the agendas at a global level; then to move on to the interventions of two regional groups that will also show the progress in this regard and finally the concrete experiences of two countries from the global south in this task of biodiversity-climate change coordination and how this supports the socio-economic transition to a more sustainable world.
