Connecting the Rio Conventions: Commitments on Climate Change, Biodiversity, and Land Degradation with synergistic potential in Latin American and Caribbean countries
This technical document has been prepared as input for the XXIV Meeting of the Forum of Ministers of the Environment of Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), to be held in Lima, Peru, in September 2025.
It analyzes the correlation between the three environmental instruments of Rio and their original obligations: the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), and the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), with additional structural commitments derived from subsequent agreements such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015, the Paris Agreement (2015), the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2019), and the
Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) in 2022, among others.
