Building Synergies Between Biodiversity and Climate

This report by the International Institute for Sustainable Development examines how 10 countries are integrating their National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plans (NBSAPs) with their nationally determined contributions (NDCs) to address the interconnected challenges of climate change and biodiversity loss.

• The report argues that the implementation of the Paris Agreement and the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework are deeply interconnected, meaning that success in one is dependent on progress in the other.
• The publication uses case studies from 10 countries—Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Indonesia, Lao People's Democratic Republic, Madagascar, Mexico, and Peru—to provide concrete examples, strategies, and innovative practices for linking NBSAPs and NDCs to maximize co-benefits.
• The renewal of national commitments under relevant conventions is identified as a critical opportunity to create synergies and connect ongoing processes to combat biodiversity loss and climate change.
