Biodiversity loss and climate change represent two of the most pressing challenges of our era. To address both with urgency, it is essential to make swift strides in implementation, harnessing the synergies between biodiversity and climate action, as well as climate adaptation. The goals of the Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the Paris Agreement of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) cannot be achieved without faster progress in implementation and utilization of the synergies between climate and biodiversity protection. Against this background, the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUKN) has commissioned the "Support project on Implementation Instruments of the Global Biodiversity Framework and the Paris Climate Agreement (BioClime)" with a duration of 01.04.2024 - 30.06.2027. The overarching goal is to successfully support key actors in shaping the framework conditions for the implementation instruments for biodiversity- and climate protection as well as ecosystem-based adaptation. It supports the BMUKN and partner countries through technical contributions, policy advice, gender-responsive exchange formats, and knowledge products to develop integrated approaches and synergies between biodiversity and climate action and climate change adaptation. The focus is on enhancing the use of synergies between the UNFCCC and the CBD in negotiations, partner countries, as well as within implementation tools (e.g., Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) and National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAP) revision), and the dissemination of knowledge products via strategic partnerships. In essence, good starting conditions, and foundations for the implementation of the GBF and the Paris Agreement have to be created. To achieve this, the project activities are divided into four fields of action: - Advice on GBF implementation instruments in the context of the CBD negotiations (Output 1) - Support in preparation for the UNFCCC climate conferences and advice on implementation instruments of the Paris Agreement (Output 2) - Advice on better use of synergies between biodiversity- and climate protection and ecosystem-based adaptation (Output 3) - Strengthening and supporting international initiatives, partnerships, and knowledge networks for biodiversity- and climate protection and ecosystem-based adaptation (Output 4) - Strengthening international forest-related climate finance and deforestation-free supply chains (Output 5) This is a so-called "support project": on the one hand, four partner countries (Indonesia, Thailand, Mexico, Brazil) are supported in effectively using the implementation instruments of the GBF and the Paris Agreement. On the other hand, the project supports BMUKN divisions on "International Biodiversity Affairs", "United Nations, 2030 Agenda, Developing and Emerging Countries; Environmental Aspects of International Climate and Energy Policy", "International Financing Issues", and "Forest Protection, Sustainable Forest Management and Wildernis" in a needs-based and flexible manner.
