Strengthening Synergies: Climate Change Mitigation Benefits From Achieving Global Biodiversity Targets

This report makes explicit and quantifies at global scale the role that achieving some of the biodiversity targets being developed for the post-2020 global biodiversity framework can play in mitigating climate change. It uses joint spatial optimisation of carbon and biodiversity values to identif...

short_description	Report on the climate change mitigation benefits that can be gained from achieving proposed global biodiversity targets. It provides climate and biodiversity policy leaders with robust information on the size of potential CO2 emissions reductions and enhanced removals from area-based conservation and ecosystem restoration in line with draft targets. This information can support discussions of nature-based solutions for meeting climate and biodiversity objectives.
