Connecting the Rio Conventions: Commitments on Climate Change, Biodiversity, and Land Degradation with synergistic potential in Latin American and Caribbean countries
This policy brief 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 contains key messages and recommendations for decision-makers in the region, based on the correlation between the three Rio environmental instruments: 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.
