This workshop, organised by the Türkiye COP31 Presidency, the G20 Global Land Initiative at the UNCCD, IUCN and the ENACT Partnership will provide an interactive space for non-state actors and interested government representatives attending CBD COP17 to collectively explore and articulate the practical dimensions of effective biodiversity-climate-land synergies. Building on emerging experiences from Nature-based Solutions (NbS), ecosystem restoration, integrated landscape approaches and collaborative governance mechanisms, participants will contribute to the development of an initial discussion paper outline that seeks to answer a central question: What does effective implementation of biodiversity-climate-land synergies look like in practice, and how can different actors contribute to achieving it?

The workshop will complement ongoing intergovernmental discussions by bringing together practical perspectives from implementation partners and stakeholders working at local, national and global levels. Furthermore, the key outcomes from the workshop will inform the subsequent Yerevan Technical and High-level Dialogues on Rio Synergies.
