Description

This briefing paper summarizes knowledge gaps in integrating forest and grassland biodiversity and ecosystems into adaptation strategies. As part of thematic work under the Nairobi Work Programme, the secretariat collaborated with an expert group on biodiversity and adaptation to:   ​​
  1. ​Articulate the role of biodiversity and ecosystems in adaptation strategies, and identify challenges, including knowledge gaps, in relation to integrating biodiversity and ecosystems into adaptation strategies;   
  2. Discuss approaches and strategies needed to address gaps and challenges, including examples of good practices in integrating biodiversity and ecosystems into adaptation strategies (focusing on forest and grassland ecosystems), through case studies;   
  3. Identify a specific set of actions that the expert group can co-design and deliver to address the knowledge gaps.​
