The project summary:

BiodivClim is a network of 33 public funding organisations from 22 European and non-European countries. The partners of the initiative aim to promote international collaboration and coordinated international research on biodiversity & climate change in all environments, incl. agricultural areas. It will strengthen research & research programmes coordination with the ultimate aim to provide policy makers & other stakeholders with adequate knowledge, tools & practical solutions to improve the conservation & sustainable use of biodiversity & ecosystems under a changing climate. 

The BiodivClim objectives are to: 1) Design & implement two joint calls for research proposals in this field (incl. one co-funded). 2) Ease rapid & efficient uptake of funded research results by the IPBES & IPCC for their future assessments, & by other relevant initiatives. 3) Reinforce data open access. 4) organize 2 joint calls that fulfill these goals.
