Climate change and biodiversity loss are interconnected. Many countries, including Canada, have embraced nature-based solutions in their climate strategies. Canada’s leadership was demonstrated as co-host of Biodiversity COP15 (2022) in Montreal, leading to the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. Despite growing recognition that climate and biodiversity must be addressed together, the lack of an integrated global policy framework leads to fragmented action. Innovative research can bridge these gaps by connecting knowledge, policy, finance, and people. This round table features international research partnerships funded by Canada’s New Frontiers Research Fund, funding agencies like the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and global perspectives showcasing initiatives on the ground. The dialogue will inspire joint action for climate, nature, and people, paving the way for COP30 and beyond.
The additional resources and other links available for some individual events are not hosted on the official COP29 Canada Pavilion website, and as such, it is not guaranteed that they will be available in both official languages.
