At its 26th meeting, the Standing Committee
of the Bern Convention set up a Group of
Experts on Biodiversity and Climate Change
to exchange information and review the
effects of climate change in the biological
diversity covered by the Convention, and to
provide guidance to Parties in developing
adaptation and management policies. The
final aim of the Group is to present to the
Standing Committee specific proposals,
guidance and/or Recommendations to help
Parties address the challenges of climate
change in the implementation of the
Convention and its objectives.
