Both terrestrial and marine biological diversity – or biodiversity– is rapidly declining putting ecosystems and people that depend on them at risk. At the same time, the impacts of rising temperatures due to climate change are visible everywhere in the world but the worst impacts are felt by vulnerable communities;

There is growing scientific and policy-making recognition that biodiversity and climate change are inextricably intertwined, however, often still discussed, researched and negotiated in silos;

During this session, we will aim to provide scientific, policy and field perspectives on interlinkages between climate change and biodiversity, and showcase NbS/ EbA project(s) breaking existing silos by jointly addressing these issues.
