Biodiversity loss and climate change are deeply connected. As temperatures rise, so does the risk of species extinction. Strategies that consider both climate and biodiversity have produced the best results, but these are often still treated as separate issues. This High-Level Thematic Ministerial Dialogue aimed to encourage better coordination between the two topics, to achieve the global objectives set out in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) and the Paris Agreement on climate change.
