The European Commission has published a handy leaflet communicating the importance of nature and biodiversity for mitigation and adaption to climate change.

The leaflet outlines the significant contribution of nature and biodiversity as a sink for man-made carbon emissions and describes the socio-economic advantages of ecosystem-based approaches to climate change adaptation and mitigation.

Following the White Paper on Adapting to Climate Change, the publication underlines the need for an integrated policy approach, stating that climate change can not be properly tackled without appropriate consideration of nature and biodiversity.

The publication is available for download from the European Commission nature and biodiversity publications page.
