Effectively Delivering on Climate and Nature: NDCs, NAPs and NBSAPs Synergies

The document argues that the biodiversity and climate change crises are interlinked and that aligning climate mitigation, adaptation, and biodiversity strategies is essential for a holistic approach. It provides a practical checklist for policy-makers to enhance coherence, minimize risks, and ensure gender-responsive and socially inclusive actions across UNFCCC and CBD policy instruments during a critical two-year window for planning and implementation.

• Aligning climate mitigation, adaptation, and biodiversity strategies allows these commitments to reinforce one another, which helps build coherence, reduce risks, prevent duplication of work, and ensure the efficient use of resources.
• The next two years are identified as a critical period for national policy-makers to integrate and align the planning and implementation of NDCs, NAPs, and NBSAPs to advance just and gender-responsive actions.
