On going contact with DIVERSITAS & WCRP on the impact of
biodivesity evolution on climate change
Added value on climate change …
• Prove that’s it’s possible to reduce anthropogenic impact
• Support the most impacted countries
• Fast granting process
• And challenge researchers on :
– Developping efficient communication and sharing on the results with
stakehoders
– Involving NGO’s and local communities in the research process
• And some challenges for Foundations :
– Where are really innovations ?
– Work closely with others Foundation
– Mobilise donors on climate change
