Addressing climate change and biodiversity conservation synergy: global practices and implications

doi:10.12006/j.issn.1673-1719.2022.150

Abstract

Abstract:

Climate change and biodiversity loss are both important and intractable environmental problems, the synergistic promotion of which has become a global consensus. For this purpose, major countries have carried out a lot of practical explorations in strategic planning, ecological space, green finance, technological innovation and so on. China has also begun to pay attention to the synergy while vigorously pursuing the carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals. In order to become an important participant, contributor and leader in global ecological governance in the future, China should incorporate biodiversity conservation into its climate policy system, focus on incorporating NbS into national development strategies such as Urbanization and Rural Revitalization. And green finance and digital technology should be promoted. Besides, China should increase public awareness and social participation in the synergy.

Key words: Climate change, Biodiversity, Synergy, Global experience
