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

The working paper by Elisa Morgera examines the legal and policy implications of climate change's impact on biodiversity and the effects of mitigation and adaptation measures. It specifically analyzes the 'unprecedented and far-reaching decisions' regarding climate change made during the CBD COP X in October 2010 in Nagoya, Japan, and discusses the resulting legal rapprochement between international biodiversity and climate change law.

• The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) has increasingly addressed the legal and policy implications of climate change's impacts on biodiversity, as well as the effects of adaptation and mitigation measures.
• The tenth meeting of the CBD Conference of the Parties (COP X), held in October 2010 in Nagoya, Japan, led to a significant acceleration in the adoption of far-reaching decisions concerning climate change.
