Climate change, biodiversity and ecosystem services on the way to COP30 – Policy Session at EAERE 2025
Presenters:
- Philippe Tulkens, European Commission DG RTD
- Alejandro Caparrós, Durham University
- Stale Navrud, Norwegian University of Life Sciences
- Katinka Holtsmark, University of Oslo
The session, organized by the Policy Outreach Committee, will focus on two key topics as we approach COP30.
First, building on the IPBES-IPCC previous studies on biodiversity and climate (IPBES, 2021), it will explore how biodiversity and ecosystem services can be integrated into climate action, focusing particularly on carbon credit systems that help both mitigate climate change and protect biodiversity.
The session will also discuss how to strengthen cooperation between the Global North and South, building on the progress made at COP29. Special attention will be given to Europe’s role in supporting biodiversity protection in the Global South through financial support and capacity- building, aiming to create more equitable and collaborative global solutions to climate challenges.
