  1. Regional workshopMainstreaming Ecosystem-Based Approach to Climate Change into Biodiversity Conservation Planning” Experience in Thailand

  2. outline • Keywords : ecosystem-based approach, climate change and biodiversity conservation planning • Links between biodiversity and climate change • National Plan on biodiversity and climate change • Experience in Thailand

  3. Ecosystem-based approach • CBD definition: “the ecosystem approach is a strategy for the integrated management of land, water and living resources that promote conservation and sustainable use in an equitable way” • Ecosystem approach address the crucial links between climate change, biodiversity, ecosystem service and sustainable resource management Convention on Biological Diversity (2004)

  4. Linkage between Biodiversity and Climate change: • Climate change is one of the major causes of change and deterioration of biodiversity and its impact will increase in the future. • Biodiversity loss directly affects the quality and quantity of ecosystem services provided. • Appropriate biodiversity management can reduce the impact of climate change

  5. Parties on CBD and UNFCCC Biodiversity • CBD : ratified on October 31st, 2003 and had entered into force since January 29th 2004 Climate change • UNFCC : ratified on December 28th, 1994 and had entered into force since March 28th March 1995

  10. connection among policies Adaptation for coping with negative effects of climate change Conserve and restore ecosystem and biodiversity both in situ and ex situ Mitigation of greenhouse gas emission and increase of greenhouse gas sink Forestry: forest conservation, restoration, reforestation, rehabilitation
