A framework for addressing the interrelated crises of climate change and biodiversity loss in a coherent and synergistic manner. We will not be able to fully achieve our climate goals unless the KMGBF goals and targets are fully met. Climate, biodiversity conservation, and indeed global health are all intricately interconnected.
