They are helping address the cause of climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. They are helping society cope with climate change impacts by maintaining essential services upon which people depend. Without them, the challenges would be even greater, and their strengthening will yield one of the most powerful natural solutions to the climate crisis.

"The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) is important, especially for BirdLife, because it has the most comprehensive mandate amongst the international treaties dealing with biodiversity. In contrast to other treaties which are mostly single-issue agreements (eg wetlands, climate change, international trade, desertification); the mandate of the CBD encompasses all these issues and more. It is also important because the Convention has near-universal acceptance as it has been ratified by 192 countries. ".........
