Biodiversity and Climate Change United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity Section 1: Impacts of climate change on biodiversity Section 2: Impacts of biodiversity on climate change Section 3: Climate change within the Convention on Biological Diversity Section 1: Impacts of Climate Change on Biodiversity Millennium Ecosystem Assessment – climate change is the second greatest threat to biodiversity Climate change is changing species through: • shifting habitat • changing life cycles • the development of new physical traits Climate change is reducing the ability of indigenous and local communities to sustain traditional, biodiversitybased livelihoods Die-offs Coral bleaching die-offs of up to 50% in the Indian Ocean Extinctions A species of Golden Toad in Costa Rica Life Cycles Gothic marmots emerge from hibernation about a month earlier than 30 years ago Physiology The average weight of adult female polar bears has decreased by more than 20% over the last 25 years Section 2: Impacts of Biodiversity on Climate Change • Reducing emissions from deforestation and other forms of land use change Providing a ‘safety net’ of genetic resources for adaptation • • Providing protection (bioshields) against the negative impacts of climate change Reducing Emissions Forests account for more than half of the global stock of carbon stored in terrestrial vegetation and soil Biodiversity Safety Net Land races of many crops are providing genetic material for the development of drought-resistant crop varieties Bioshields The value of mangroves as coastal protection has been estimated at $25 – $50 per hectare Section 3: Climate Change within the Convention on Biological Diversity The cross-cutting issues on biodiversity and climate change COP decision VIII/30: 1. recommendations for the enhancement of climate change considerations in all Programmes of Work and 2. information on the role of protected areas The Ad Hoc Technical Expert Group on Climate Change and Biodiversity Four AHTEGs: First meeting 21 - 25 January 2002 Last meeting 13 - 16 September 2005 AHTEG reports were published as two technical series: TS 10 - Interlinkages between biological diversity and climate change TS 25 - Guidance for Promoting Synergy Among Activities Addressing Biological Diversity, Desertification, Land Degradation and Climate Change Climate Change Components of the Programmes of Work Forest Biodiversity Mitigate the negative impacts of climate change and promote forest biodiversity considerations in mitigation and adaptation Inland Waters Attention to the impacts of climate change and the role of inland waters in mitigation and adaptation Climate Change Components of the Programmes of Work Marine & Coastal Mountain Biodiversity Impacts of climate change on coral reefs and need to consider climate change in protected area planning Need for more information on climate change and the vulnerability of mountain biodiversity to its impacts Climate Change Components of the Programmes of Work Island Biodiversity Address challenges to island biodiversity from climate change and pollution Dry and Sub- Conservation taking into humid Lands account climate change Agricultural Climate regulation & carbon Biodiversity sequestration recognized as ecological services provided by agricultural biodiversity Article 8j on local and indigenous communities and traditional knowledge COP decision VIII/5 B 1. noted the specific vulnerabilities of indigenous and local communities to the impacts of climate change 2. requested further research on climate change vulnerability targeting highly vulnerable indigenous and local communities Joint work undertaken with the UNFCCC • Called for in multiple COP decisions (eg. decision VIII/3) • Coordinated through the Joint Liaison Group • Focuses on technology transfer, vulnerability and adaptation, and reducing emissions from deforestation Section 4: Response of the Convention on Biological Diversity 2010 Biodiversity Target Target 7.1: Maintain and enhance resilience of the components of biodiversity to adapt to climate change
