Résumé : | In the context of climate policies, nature-based solutions (NBS) have been receiving increasing attention in recent years, and have a prominent position in around 40 nationally determined contributions (NDCs), which represent the commitments made by the signatory states to the Paris Agreement. However, the ways in which the incorporation of ecosystems into climate efforts could work either for or against biodiversity will require special attention during the implementation of the NDCs. Morocco and Tunisia are two of the countries that have given the greatest attention in their NDCs to the use of ecosystems in their climate strategies, and are the most ambitious countries in this respect in the whole of the Mediterranean Basin. Beyond their national contexts, the example set by these two countries therefore provides some initial recommendations that are more broadly applicable to countries wishing to mobilise ecosystems in their climate strategies and to develop synergies between their climate policies and their biodiversity policies. Based on a project conducted with the authorities of both countries, the authors make five recommendations to support biodiversity during climate NBS implementation: (1) Analysing NDCs in order to identify the NBS they contain and classify these according to their level of ambition and the guarantees they provide for biodiversity protection; (2) Prioritising NBS measures relying on policies that already explicitly integrate ecosystem protection or restoration targets; (3) Integrating biodiversity targets into climate NBS that do not give them explicit attention; (4) Evaluating the additional resources required to implement biodiversity-friendly climate NBS; (5) Identifying and supporting project leaders capable of intersectoral implementation of NBS. |
