Biodiversity lies at the heart of climate resilience, sustainable livelihoods, and nutrition security. This session explores how integrating biodiversity across food systems enhances ecosystem stability, productivity, and equity. Through insights from farmers, researchers, and policymakers, it highlights locally grounded evidence and practical solutions for scaling nature-positive and inclusive agricultural transformation. The discussion will connect community practices with global action, emphasising science-policy interfaces and opportunities for implementation within the COP30 framework.

Event Objectives

Demonstrate how biodiversity-based approaches strengthen resilience, enhance nutrition, and sustain livelihoods across food systems. 

Promote exchange of scientific and practical evidence to inform policies and actions that bridge local experiences with global frameworks. 

Identify pathways and partnerships to scale up nature-positive innovations that integrate biodiversity into climate adaptation and food system transformation.  

Key Outcomes

Strengthened knowledge sharing and understanding of how biodiversity enhances ecosystem resilience and food system stability, supporting integrated strategies that link climate adaptation with nutrition and livelihood goals.  

Consolidated evidence and case studies are translated into actionable policy recommendations that connect local innovations with national and international food system and climate agendas.  

New collaboration and investment opportunities are identified among organisations and stakeholders to accelerate the mainstreaming of biodiversity-based approaches across food and climate initiatives.
