Harvesting Solutions: Aligning NBSAPs and NDCs for Climate and Biodiversity Benefits

In the face of increasing ecological challenges, the alignment of biodiversity and climate protection is crucial for the realization of sustainable food systems. This event addressed how National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs) and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) can be better aligned to promote resilient, sustainable food systems.

The event focused on discussing how synergies between biodiversity conservation and climate resilience of food systems can be strengthened and showcase concrete examples from countries. Agroecology plays an important role here, taking a holistic approach that promotes agricultural practices that benefit both ecosystems and communities. Through expert knowledge, collaborative discussions and practical case studies, participants will explore how integrating and mainstreaming these strategies can promote nature-positive food systems and ensure a healthier planet for future generations.
