Description:
This paper is intended for Parties to the UNFCCC and non-State actors. Its purpose is to stimulate discussion and translate knowledge into action with a view to integrating the biodiversity and ecosystems of forests and grasslands into adaptation strategies. The scope of the paper includes the identification of adaptation knowledge gaps at the local, subnational, national, regional and global level.
The findings from this paper serve as an input to the 14th NWP Focal Point Forum, to be held in conjunction with COP 26. The Forum provides an interactive space for Parties, NWP partner organizations and thematic experts to exchange views and insights on thematic areas, knowledge gaps and action needed at different levels.
The secretariat collaborated with an expert group on biodiversity and adaptation to:
Review the role of biodiversity and ecosystems in adaptation strategies, including communitybased, ecosystem-based and hybrid approaches;
Identify knowledge gaps and needs regarding the integration of biodiversity and ecosystems into adaptation. To align with the mandate of the NWP, this work focuses on forest and grassland ecosystems. The analysis draws on examples from different countries and regions, including the LDCs, small island developing States and African countries;
Discuss approaches and strategies for addressing knowledge gaps, including discussion of good practices (through case studies) of where and how biodiversity has been integrated into adaptation strategies at various scales.
