 It is true and important to acknowledge that it was multilateral processes that brought us the Paris Climate Agreement and the Global Biodiversity framework under two separate UN conventions on climate and biodiversity. Those were great diplomatic achievements, but they were only a start. Global commitments are really just as effective as they are backed up by practical action in countries. In order for achieving that, four things are very important. One, we need both integrated long-term pathways and short-term action plans across climate development and nature domains. Two, we need adequate financing to put these in place at scale. Three, we need to systematically track and analyze the effectiveness of policies and to provide accountability and transparency. And four, we need to provide platforms for all of us to learn from what works and what doesn't work in order to accelerate progress against the international targets.
