Summary
This Scientific Outcome report documents the findings of the first IPCC-IPBES co-sponsored workshop (December 2020), synthesising the emerging state of knowledge on interactions between climate change and biodiversity loss. The report contextualises these dual crises within international policy frameworks including the Paris Agreement and post-2020 biodiversity framework, and provides options for integrated action to support human wellbeing. The seven-section report aims to inform decision-making and identify research priorities at the climate-biodiversity nexus.
UK applicability
The report provides global-scale policy guidance applicable to UK climate and biodiversity commitments under the Paris Agreement and Convention on Biological Diversity. UK policymakers and land managers may find the integrated framework and action options relevant to designing domestic policies that address both climate mitigation and nature recovery.
Key measures
Qualitative synthesis of the state of knowledge on climate-biodiversity interactions and their human impacts; policy-relevant options for action; identified research gaps
Outcomes reported
The Scientific Outcome synthesises emerging knowledge on the interconnections between climate change and biodiversity loss, identifies implications for human wellbeing, and outlines options for integrated action. The report identifies key knowledge gaps requiring further scientific research to support decision-making across climate and biodiversity policy frameworks.
