CLIMA Y SINERGIAS ENTRE BIODIVERSIDAD

The document argues that integrating the agendas of the UNFCCC, CBD, and UNCCD is essential for effective environmental governance, particularly in Latin America and the Caribbean. It proposes creating formal dialogue spaces at COP30, aligning national planning instruments (NDCs, NBSAPs, and NAPs), and implementing multi-purpose financial mechanisms to address the interconnected crises of climate change and biodiversity loss.

• Latin America and the Caribbean are uniquely positioned for climate-biodiversity synergies as the region holds over 40% of global biodiversity, yet experienced a 95% reduction in biodiversity between 1970 and 2020.
• The document advocates for a 'whole-of-government' approach to align national instruments, specifically integrating Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs), and National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) with Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) goals.
• The Tropical Forests Forever Facility (TFFF) is highlighted as an innovative blended finance mechanism aiming to mobilize $125 billion from public and private sources to provide direct payments to countries for keeping forests standing, with 20% allocated to indigenous peoples and local communities.
• Colombia serves as a best-practice example of joint governance by aligning its 2030 NBSAP with NDC 2.0 goals, including increasing ecological restoration targets from 1 million hectares in 2020 to 3 million hectares in 2024, and using the 'Sisclima' institutional architecture for both.
• In Brazil's Cerrado region, the Responsible Commodities Facility (RCF) demonstrates synergistic finance by providing low-interest loans to soy farmers who commit to zero deforestation, with the potential to restore 1.2 million hectares of degraded land and sequester up to 55 million tons of carbon.
• Chile's Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) 2017-2025 goals support climate and biodiversity by targeting the restoration of 140,000 hectares by 2025, including 20,000 hectares of degraded native vegetation and 10,000 hectares affected by forest fires.
