Leveraging the Climate-Biodiversity-Land nexus: New note from the Blog of the Observatory
Discover the new analysis note from the Climate Chance Observatory: "Leveraging the Climate-Biodiversity-Land nexus in a triple-COP year".
Approaching the halfway point for the “Decade of Action” to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, the upcoming months, marked by a frequent and rapid succession of high-level international meetings, will be critical to charting and scaling up the global response to the ongoing planetary crises.
Under the mandates of each of these 3 conventions – the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) – the mid-point of the decade is a crucial moment for action. It will also be the moment for all stakeholders to align their objectives, plans and actions across the three agendas.
The new analysis note from the Blog of the Observatory focuses on leveraging the climate-biodiversity-land nexus, a few weeks ahead of the 3 major events on the international agenda at the end of the year: the Climate, Biodiversity and Desertification COPs.
Published on 7 October 2024, it was written by Tania Martha Thomas, Coordinator of the Observatory.
