The combined pressures of climate change and development will not only aggravate existing challenges to the conservation of biodiversity in the Pacific, but also introduce new difficulties. There are a wide range of historical, current and planned studies that examine specific aspects of the relationship between climate change, conservation and development in the Pacific.

As climate change, disrupts local economies, ecosystems and biodiversity in Latin America and the Caribbean, implementing effective solutions is paramount. Over the last decade, UNDP has worked with countries to deploy Nature-based solutions (NbS) as an approach to meeting these multiple interconnected challenges while enhancing jobs and livelihoods and providing other socio-economic and ecosystem service benefits.

The world is facing severe challenges. Billions of people around the world are suffering the consequences of the climate emergency, food and water insecurity and the COVID-19 pandemic. Ecosystems are an indispensable ally as we meet these challenges. Protecting them and managing their resources in a sustainable manner is essential. But just increasing the protection and sustainable management of our remaining natural landscapes and oceans will not be enough, the planet's degraded ecosystems and the huge benefits that they provide must also be restored.

Le projet régional PEBACC+ (Pacific Ecosystem-Based Adaptation to Climate Change Plus) vise à renforcer la résilience des écosystèmes, des économies et des populations par la mise en œuvre démonstrative, la planification et l’institutionnalisation de l’approche de l’Adaptation fondée sur les Ecosystèmes (AfE) et les Solutions fondées sur la Nature (SfN) pour l’adaptation au changement climatique.
