The LIB urges #COP30 to put biodiversity at the core of climate policy.
Without healthy ecosystems, there are no nature-based solutions.
„Climate and species protection are two sides of the same coin.”

#Biodiversity #ClimateAction #ScienceForChange
Our appeal to COP30: Integrate biodiversity into national climate plans. Strengthen research and monitoring. Base decisions on scientific evidence.
