RT null T1 Regional Dialogue on Strengthening Science-Policy Interface Between Biodiversity and Climate Change in the Hindu Kush - Workshop Report A1 United Nations Environment Programme, YR 2024 FD 2024-09 LK https://wedocs.unep.org/handle/20.500.11822/49201 UL https://wedocs.unep.org/handle/20.500.11822/49201 NO Climate change, pollution and biodiversity loss are arguably the greatest challenges impeding the progress towards Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – collectively known as triple planetary crises. Adapting to climate change, halting, and reversing biodiversity loss, minimising pollution and ensuring human prosperity and wellbeing are four interlinked goals that governments aim to achieve by the first half of this century. This means the triple planetary crisis objectives must be pursued jointly and coherently in science and decision-making, to minimise trade-offs, maximise the positive impact and potentially deliver additional societal benefits. Failing to meet any of the goals impacts severely at scales that range from global to local. The role of biodiversity in human development and addressing climate change, and the need for synergy has been realised and recognized as a major contemporary global need.
