Summary
This scientific outcome from the first IPCC-IPBES co-sponsored workshop (December 2020) synthesises the interdependencies between climate change and biodiversity loss in relation to human well-being and sustainable development goals. The report develops conclusions across seven thematic sections, substantiating evidence on climate-biodiversity interactions and proposing decision-relevant options for integrated action. It identifies critical knowledge gaps whilst aligning findings with international policy frameworks including the Paris Agreement and post-2020 biodiversity framework.
UK applicability
The findings provide a global policy framework relevant to UK commitments under international climate and biodiversity agreements. UK-specific application would require contextualisation to temperate ecosystems, agricultural systems, and domestic biodiversity priorities, particularly for terrestrial and freshwater habitats.
Key measures
State-of-knowledge synthesis on climate-biodiversity interactions; alignment with Paris Agreement, post-2020 global biodiversity framework, Sendai Framework, and 2030 Agenda targets
Outcomes reported
The report synthesises emerging scientific knowledge on the interconnections between climate change and biodiversity loss, informing policy-makers on integrated solutions and identifying knowledge gaps. It addresses how dual crises of climate change and biodiversity loss affect human well-being across multiple systems and scales.
