Faraway, So Close: A Legal Analysis of the Increasing Interactions between the Convention on Biological Diversity and Climate Change Law

This text is an abstract for a working paper by Elisa Morgera that examines the increasing legal interactions between the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and climate change law, highlighting a significant acceleration in related decisions following the CBD COP X in October 2010 in Nagoya, Japan.

• The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) has increasingly addressed the legal and policy implications of climate change's impact on biodiversity, including measures for mitigation and adaptation.
• The tenth meeting of the CBD Conference of the Parties (COP X), held from 18-29 October 2010 in Nagoya, Japan, led to a significant acceleration in the CBD's focus on climate change, resulting in numerous unprecedented and far-reaching decisions.
