Inter-linkages Between the Two Conventions • Article 2 stabilization level should be achieved within a time frame sufficient to allow ecosystems to adapt naturally • In Article 4.1 all Parties commit themselves to protecting sinks and reservoirs • Article 4.8 pays attention to the specific needs of developing countries with areas with fragile ecosystems • Kyoto Protocol Annex I countries to make use of the carbon uptake of forests

  3. Climate Change & Climate Change Actions Can Have Many Impacts on Biodiversity • Mitigation • Adaptation • Conservation of biodiversity can also contribute

  4. Good Awareness of the Biodiversity Implications • Need to ensure that climate actions do not create additional pressures on biodiversity • When avoidable, we should minimize such negative impacts • Aware of the fact of not always having the expertise or mandate to handle them

  5. Climate and Biodiversity Communities • Different languages • Different cultures and traditions

  6. Adaptation as a Shared Concern • Biodiversity considerations relevant • Planned adaptation to protect biodiversity • Biodiversity impacts of adaptation activities in other sectors
