BioCAM4: Nexus of Biodiversity, Climate & People
@biocam4.bsky.social
BioCAM4 is an international research consortium advancing nature-based #climate action. Through global mapping, regional studies, and policy engagement we explore ways to deliver co-benefits for biodiversity, human health, and local livelihoods.
At BioCAM4, these insights closely align with our work to support more credible, coordinated, and inclusive climate action, bridging mitigation and adaptation, strengthening accountability across diverse actors.
