Support project for implementation instruments of the Global Biodiversity Framework and the Paris Agreement (BioClime)
To effectively combat biodiversity loss and climate change, action must be taken more urgently. The project therefore supports partners through technical inputs, policy advice and exchange in the CBD and UNFCCC negotiations as well as in the design of improved implementation instruments for biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation and adaptation, such as national biodiversity strategies and action plans (NAP), national determined contributions (NDC), long-term strategies (LTS) and ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA). To this end, the project prepares learning experiences and promotes knowledge exchange, e.g. on biodiversity, natural climate protection, sustainable water management or resource efficiency via international initiatives, partnerships and knowledge networks. These reach many governments and civil societies especially in megadiverse developing countries and enable rapid learning, target-orientated strategies and effective implementation of the globally agreed targets of the CBD and UNFCCC.

State of implementation/results
- In 2025, the project supported the BMUKN across departments through technical inputs and policy advice on biodiversity, climate and forest-related topics within the processes of the CBD and the UNFCCC; key focus areas included Rio Convention synergies, nature-based solutions (NbS) and ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA), forest and climate finance, deforestation-free supply chains, protected area management, mainstreaming, as well as monitoring and reporting
- The project contributed to strengthening biodiversity–climate synergies in international negotiation processes, including SB62 in Bonn (06/2025), CBD subsidiary body meetings (SBSTTA27), and the COP30 in Brazil; outputs included synthesis reports, overviews of decisions and documentation of side events
- The project supported key international initiatives and partnerships such as the Synergies Collaboration Platform, the NBSAP Accelerator Partnership, the Forest Climate Leaders’ Partnership (FCLP) and the ENACT partnership through technical inputs, event support and knowledge products
- The project contributed to the Global Ethical Stocktake (GES) initiative of the Brazilian COP30 Presidency, promoting the inclusion of ethical, cultural and intergenerational perspectives in climate policy processes
- In 2025, the project organised and supported multiple international dialogue and exchange formats, including a workshop on biodiversity–climate policy coherence (04/2025, Vilm Island), contributions to consultations on EbA guidelines (05/2025, Cambridge), the 11th EbA Knowledge Day (06/2025, Bonn), as well as several dialogues and side events during UNFCCC COP30 and CBD intersessional meetings
- During international events such as the Hamburg Sustainability Conference (06/2025) and partnership meetings on deforestation-free supply chains, approaches to strengthen forest and climate finance and the role of Indigenous communities were highlighted
- The project actively contributes to and manages the ecosystem-based adaptation thematic page on the knowledge platform adaptationcommunity.net and supports the dissemination of international lessons learned
