13:00 - 14:00 Climate Change, Biodiversity and Human Well-being
Biodiversity is affected by climate change, with negative consequences for human well-being, but biodiversity, through the ecosystem services it supports, also makes an important contribution to both climate-change mitigation and adaptation. However, the interconnection between climate change and biodiversity is not widely discussed from a policy and implementation perspective and it can be challenging for the private sector, the consumers and policy makers to understand.
