Good Governance for Integrated Climate and Biodiversity Policy Making

Developing a synergistic approach to tackling biodiversity loss and climate change in line with human development objectives requires good governance structures that tackle shared indirect drivers and achieve significant environmental and socioeconomic outcomes. Existing governance systems often lack effective mechanisms to enhance integration while recognising and addressing trade-offs. Political will is a prerequisite for the transformative actions required for integration, while simultaneously achieving good governance principles such as equity, effectiveness, and responsiveness.
