The Programme aims to foster synergies between climate change mitigation and adaptation, biodiversity conservation and sustainable land management.
To support this, the Programme:
- Promotes integrated planning across sectors
- Encourages collaborative policy development that breaks down silos
- Supports coordinated resource mobilization for joint action
- Elevates the role of indigenous and local knowledge in decision-making
- Strengthens collaboration and coherence in achieving the Rio Conventions’ goals and the Sustainable Development Goals
The Joint Capacity-building Programme is a catalyst for change, equipping national institutions, policymakers and local practitioners to work more effectively and in coordination.
