Increasing collaboration across the Rio Conventions to achieve synergistic climate and biodiversity outcomes at COP30

Aim

To foster a decision, at UNFCCC COP30, that: recognises the importance of synergies between climate change mitigation/adaptation and biodiversity for achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement; reflects the importance of
retaining and improving the integrity of ecosystems for minimising risks to ecosystem carbon reservoirs; requires parties to consider the importance of synergies in their NDCs; and results in a concrete pathway of actions to be undertaken at the multilateral level to halt and reverse deforestation and forest degradation by 2030.
