Further information

This technical brief emphasizes the interconnections between biodiversity and climate change adaptation and explores the potential to foster synergies between the processes to formulate and implement National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) and National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plans (NBSAPs). It provides an overview of the two processes’ common elements—(a) assessment of needs and priorities; (b) planning; (c) implementation and financing; and (d) monitoring, evaluation, and learning—along with specific opportunities for promoting synergies between the two processes.

Policy brief

Description

The UNFCCC knowledge-to-action hub, the Nairobi work programme, has collaborated with its expert group on biodiversity and climate change change adaptation to close a knowledge gap on biodiversity and climate change adaptation, identified through the development of a scoping paper. The technical brief reviews the interconnections between biodiversity and climate change adaptation and explores the potential to foster synergies between the processes to formulate and implement NAPs and NBSAPs. This is underpinned by highlighting practical entry points and lessons learned from case study examples on effective coordination and joint implementation of climate change adaptation and biodiversity actions at the national level.
